The Power of Purpose…

As you all may have seen I was part of the cuts at Cisco last week...What you also may or may not have seen is the outpouring of support and love from the Cisco family. This decision was not a reflection of my performance or tenure but a strategic move for the organization. The culture at Cisco has always stood out, and it’s even more apparent during challenging times like these. The support those affected have received has been overwhelming—in the best way possible. My peers and fellow colleagues who've faced similar changes have come together in a show of solidarity that truly embodies the spirit of the Cisco community. This moment is a testament to the strength of the relationships we've built and the culture we've nurtured. As I reflect on my time at Cisco, I'm filled with gratitude for the opportunities I've had and the connections I've made. Looking ahead, I'm excited about the new path that awaits whether I find something internal or external. The lessons learned and experiences gained at Cisco have equipped me with a unique set of skills and perspectives that I'm eager to bring to my next adventure. To my Cisco family, thank you for the support, encouragement, and camaraderie. The journey doesn’t end here; it’s just taking a new direction. Here’s to embracing change and stepping into the future with optimism and resilience. If you want to know what it like to work with a "family", Cisco is the place. #Cisco #NewBeginnings #CareerJourney #Gratitude

Well, the dust has settled on the news that Broadcom has acquired VMware for a staggering $61 billion which marks the largest acquisition in enterprise software history. I am keen to hear the opinions of people in my network on this, with the changes that have already happened and will continue to happen what are your thoughts and is it affecting you in any way? Please comment below or ping me a message🙂

Everything started with a simple question I received on LinkedIn: “Hi Platon, are you interested in the latest technologies?” You can guess my answer. Since then, Cisco and I have shared a quarter of our lives together. I've watched it evolve, and it’s seen me grow. Many things have changed, but one of the reasons we're still on this journey together is that my answer to the questions I was asked 10 years ago hasn't changed! Another reason is that Cisco goes beyond connecting devices; it connects people, cultures, and experiences. It turns data into knowledge, using that knowledge to create a positive impact on customers, employees, and society. I could fill up pages talking about Cisco, and maybe I will at another time. But for now, I just want to express my gratitude to everyone I've collaborated with — those who've guided me, challenged me, and offered opportunities. I want to thank Cisco. I take pride in being part of this large organization and eagerly anticipate our future together. #WeAreCisco

Many of my friends, family, and coworkers ask what I do in my Chief of Staff role. It's a hard one to explain, but this podcast episode is a great view into the day to day! Great interview led by Leah Lefebvre with some very valuable nuggets by my friend and mentor Isabella Yani. Give it a listen! #cisco #womenintechnology #chiefofstaff
