Our Passport to the World: The Cisco ID Badge
When I was six years old, I received my first world map on which I used to trace the routes of our frequent family visits to India. I’d move my finger from Ft.

Generation Cisco
How much do you #LoveWhereYouWork? For me, I could share story upon story of why Cisco has my heart. I am so immensely proud to see our children running around in Cisco t-shirts and love watching my daughter save book reports to her Cisco UBS drive. There have been many moments that mattered to m…

Why a “Conscious Culture” Matters
The first time I heard Cisco’s Chief People Officer (CPO) Fran Katsoudas talk about a “conscious culture” I have to admit I already thought I was conscious of the culture around me.

Why modern banks are (still) investing in brick-and-mortar branches
Despite the trend toward digitization and a shrinking branch footprint, the brick-and-mortar bank isn’t disappearing anytime soon. In June, JPMorgan Chase opened one of the largest branches in the country—a 12,500-square-foot emporium in Midtown Manhattan. Both Chase and Bank of America announ…
