Meet the Team

A team of seven (7) hardworking, technically skilled engineers

passionate about driving outcomes by blending business requirements with technology solutions and working hard on customer success.

Our Solution Engineers' primary focus is on driving sales and solutions to meet our customers’ most fast paced challenges. Cisco has one of the most complete portfolios, where learning and challenging yourself to grow is just part of the job! If you like learning and being challenged, the SE role at Cisco is right for you!

While our team is passionate about driving value to a large number of US Commercial customers, each Solutions Engineer is tied to a specific set of accounts and driven to meet or exceed the sales goals assigned to them. However, we know our teammates may need help, and we highly encourage sharing and collaboration—no one is left behind!

The team consists of seven senior-level engineers; 90% of them are certified in various technology domains, including CCNP, CCIE, Cloud, and more. The team is seasoned, with an average of 10 years in the role! Yes, 10 years and counting, which signals the togetherness and respect each member has for one another. With expertise in Routing, Switching, Collaboration, Security, WAN, Data Center, Cloud, and more, we have a wealth of knowledge on our team, and we are looking to add another great engineer!

Engineers on this team range in age and experience—some having their first child, and others having married children with kids of their own—but the one thing we share is a good laugh, compassion for each other, excitement for one another's successes, and an overall appreciation for the vast talent of this team.
