Experience

1. Workload and Security Solutions Architect

   Cisco

   Aug 2018 — Present

   I enable selling of Cisco cyber security solutions specifically Cisco Secure Workload (Tetration) by being a technical authority for our customers and channel partners. In this role I help customers transform their network and security operations from one being a legacy style perimeter centric security approach to the new approach of establishing a micro-perimeter around all applications hosted in on-premises datacenters and public cloud entities. In this approach customers transform from being \"trust first\" and \"block later\" to \"zero-trust first\" and allow only what\'s necessary based on empirical data. I\'m currently part of the product incubation team covering US Public Sector accounts responsible for driving market adoption of Cisco\'s Tetration complete workload protection solution across Cisco\'s US Public Sector customer base, Cisco sellers and the Cisco channel partners. My role includes selling specifically in to Federal, State and Local government entities as well as Universities and K-12 organizations across the USA. I am also a competitive specialist helping Cisco to compete against other Micro-Segmentation solutions offered by VMWare, Illumio, Guardicore, ZScaler, etc.
