Cisco names new CIO, 10/24/06
Cisco has a new executive to spearhead the company’s own use of IT.
On Tuesday, the company named Rebecca Jacoby as senior vice president and chief information officer. The 11-year Cisco veteran previously was vice president of customer service and operational systems. In that role, she had been handling some CIO roles while former CIO Brad Boston was shifting to a new position, spokeswoman Abby Smith said.
Cisco, the dominant networking vendor with 50,000 employees worldwide, is well known for using its own technology and promoting the benefits it has delivered in-house. Jacoby will manage IT strategy and operations for the whole company and oversee a staff of 1,800.
