Cisco promotes from inside for U.S. channel chief job

Cisco has moved up Wendy Bahr, most recently vice president, U.S. commercial channels to the role of VP of U.S./Canada channels, an appointment that has been viewed as positive. There is a discussion at Joe Panettieri's blog about whether it should be time for Cisco to hire someone from Microsoft to bring some software expertise into the channel. Bahr's expertise in telecoms and the federal sector mixed with another senior exec with significant software expertise could help Cisco in the unified messaging space.
