About Dave Gervon

With 20+ years of experience in the technology industry, I’ve held diverse roles spanning marketing, sales, project management, and channel development. My career has come full circle - from selling and building channel programs at Cisco Meraki early in my career, to spending 7½ years at Amazon Web Services building global partner strategies, and now returning to Cisco to lead the global AWS partnership.At AWS, I created sales and partner engagement frameworks, launched the SMB Competency, built initiatives and incentive programs that scaled to billions in revenue, and architected AWS selling motions that transformed how the company goes to market with partners. Along the way, I had the privilege of presenting these strategies at re:Invent, Global Partner Summits, and AWS customer and partner events around the world.Now back at Cisco, I’m focused on strengthening the Cisco-AWS alliance through marketplace integration, co-sell enablement, and partner ecosystem development. I bring a unique perspective having built partnership programs on both sides of this critical relationship - understanding the challenges, opportunities, and strategies that drive success for both organizations.I’m passionate about building bridges between organizations, fostering collaboration, and delivering measurable results through strategic partnerships. Whether it’s designing programs that scale globally or enabling partners to truly succeed with their customers, I’m committed to making partnerships work in practice, not just in theory.
