Cisco: Telepresence, Video and the Future of Collaboration

One of the many benefits of working for Cisco is that you are the cutting edge of new markets. I'm blown away by the transformational nature of this company. As an organization, it runs quietly and smoothly which is hard enough to do, but the way that the leadership and businesses adjust to market opportunities is what really fuels my respect.

I have been working on a few really cool projects the last six months- one of which is Telepresence.
As we all know, Video is pervasive these days and it's only going to continue to expand its reach and utilization and impact on our daily lives. Cisco's leadership in developing new network platforms to allow an expansion of what is possible in communications for this and coming generations is impressive by any standard. I'm just lucky to have a front row seat.

We all know that the world is complex and every opportunity we have to improve collaboration and communication means that there's a better chance of building a world we will all want to be a part of, rather than shriek away from to become more isolated and jaded. The way we communicate and collaborate is changing and most importantly is encouraging action around the world
