Over the last 40 years, Cisco has built one of the most sophisticated and extensive Go-to-Market engines in the industry, with a mission of helping customers adjust to changing market conditions and achieve their most urgent outcomes. During our Earnings call, I announced some important updates to Cisco’s Executive Leadership Team that will help us take the next step in that mission.
First I am pleased to share that Gary Steele, the former CEO of Splunk who joined Cisco as part of the acquisition, will be stepping into the newly created role of President, Go-to-Market.
Gary and his team will evolve our Go-to-Market motions to execute against our strategy, align with customer needs, and drive a culture of intense competition, agility, and continuous improvement. I look forward to partnering more deeply with Gary in this new role.
As part of these changes, Jeff Sharritts, our current EVP and Chief Customer and Partner Officer, will be leaving Cisco after 24 years.
Jeff has a long list of accomplishments at Cisco and is known for his authenticity and integrity. He’s well respected across the company, and I am grateful for his leadership, friendship, and unwavering dedication to Cisco and our customers.
