I love getting out into the field with partners and our sales teams because I get remarkably candid feedback on what Cisco can do better.

The development of the digital landscape is accelerating at an unprecedented rate for Cisco, our ecosystem of partners, and our mutual customers. We’re seeing unprecedented opportunity as our customers – across all vertical markets – are going full speed to quickly becoming digital organ…
