Security

Carolina joined Cisco in 2015 and has since been deeply immersed in the fastest growing area of the business: Security. She has been working in the tech industry since 2010.

Graduated as a journalist in 2005, she is a curious person (or nosey, depending on your point of view). She loves telling (and listening to) a good story, so naturally she is helping Cisco shape its security narrative.
