Cisco announced several strategic changes to adapt to the evolving technology landscape and better support its customers in modernizing infrastructure, mitigating cyber risks, and leveraging data. Jonathan Davidson, who has been leading Cisco Networking, is stepping down to serve as an advisor to CEO Chuck Robbins. In response, Cisco is consolidating its Networking, Security, and Collaboration teams into a single organization, now led by Jeetu Patel, who assumes an expanded role as Cisco’s EVP and Chief Product Officer. This new structure aims to accelerate product innovation, unify the company's portfolio, and enhance customer experiences as Cisco integrates the Splunk product line into its operations.
