Rebecca Jacoby has been at Cisco for the last 16 years and has been the CIO for just over four years.
During an in-depth discussion at the Interop trade show in Las Vegas with press and analysts, Jacoby explained how she tackles the role of CIO and what her organization is doing to move the business forward.
In her view, when an IT organization think their business is about everything they create, that’s not going to fly far. In the future, it’s is all about delivering services in via the cloud.
“So how do we bring those services together so I can deliver capabilities to the business,” Jacoby said. “That’s our ultimate vision over the next 18 to 24 months.”
