Program Manager, Partner

A Partner Marketing Manager in the UK, I have worked in IT and channel marketing for more years than I care to admit. Why I am still here? Apart from paying the bills that is? Put simply – because both IT and marketing never stop changing. The speed of change in the tech world is currently breath taking – and I am right at the heart of it with one of the world’s most innovative companies – Cisco. And as a marketer the ways I have to communicate these changes would have been seen as science fiction when I took my first nervous steps on my career ladder.

It’s fun, exciting and a bit scary. That’s what’s gets me up in the mornings, and I hope that’s what comes across in any of my blogs that you are kind enough to read.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, so please get in touch @ clockyea@cisco.com
