Running the global IT organization for the world’s largest networking company is likely no easy task. It’s the role of Cisco CIO, Rebecca Jacoby and one that she handles without affecting her sleep.

I recently had the chance to sit down with Jacoby to get her insight into how she handles the role of CIO.

In my bag of standard interview questions for c-level execs, I tend to always ask the question – ‘What keeps you up at night?’  Jacoby’s answer to the question was one of the best that I’ve ever received.
