It’s a company redefining itself as an AI market leader, the incredible impact of Cisco SEs and Partners: “we’ve got to take the message and go to every single customer to re-educate the market on who Cisco is.”
Hear directly from Jeetu how Cisco is “side by side with our partner community fighting the fight” in this new era of monumental change. If you’re excited to hear more about Cisco’s relevancy spanning across all verticals, you’ll definitely want to tune in!
