My name is Cecile Willems and I am the Director of Global Industry Marketing at Cisco. The approach to my life is all about passion, dimension, and purpose —whether personally, professionally, or in my leadership style. My 21 years at Cisco have been an amazing ride — it’s been an opportunity to learn, give back, and make a difference. Having been in leadership roles in partner organizations and the sales teams in Germany, I was asked to take on a global role for Cisco in 2012 and moved to the US. I am super passionate about healthy living, organic gardening, and cooking for my family, which includes a dog and two horses. I also call myself the Mom of about 150,000 bees — the beehives call the RTP campus their home. This initiative is fully embedded into Cisco’s Corporate Sustainability Plan.
