About David Naismith
Understanding the global language of corporate performance, I am a seasoned strategy and operations executive with 20+ years of experience driving transformation and executional excellence across medium-to-large technology enterprises. My breadth and perspective elevating strategic planning, financial management, performance management and empowering employees, processes, and technologies to achieve organizational goals extends across multiple functions including engineering, technical services, IT, and global business services. Demonstrated over a 20+ year tenure at Cisco, Rapidscale, and Genesys, I bring this full-enterprise lens to identifying and solving complex organizational challenges, leveraging experience that traverses PMO / program management, finance, operations and governance with a continuous improvement mindset. Recent achievements with Cisco include defining a clear and measurable pathway to the achievement of Global Procurement goals by implementing OKRs and the V2MOM framework to 30 leaders; driving the implementation of stronger governance across priority investments; realizing multimillion-dollar cost savings; and transforming data into a strategic business lever through creation of a Data Centre of Excellence, data-driven culture and modern tech stack supporting performance (and performance management).Please feel free to connect.
