Sharing best practices, portfolio changes, proven customer use cases, roadmaps, and ROI analyses will help you solve customer problems effectively. As a leader, you will educate customers, partners, and account teams on Cisco solutions and how we differentiate ourselves in the market. You will apply your knowledge to achieve positive results for your customers, collaborating across technology domains to drive cross-architectural solutions. You will have the opportunity to author blogs, case studies, and best practices, articulating complex solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
