"I admire Susie Wee. She works at Google now, but she was the CTO of DevNet Innovations at Cisco. As a technologist, I believe in information sharing and the power of open-source solutions. They drive innovation and help engineers develop powerful and scalable solutions. DevNet is an online global community where engineers can easily access the information and tools needed for success. Cisco products connect the world and help to secure critical information exchanges between individuals and businesses. My teams use DevNet every day.

Susie led the DevNet teams, but she was also a part of the team that developed it initially. I appreciate leaders that are passionate enough about the products they develop early in their careers to see them through as senior leaders. They have a depth of knowledge and ownership that can be hard to find among C-suite leaders today. I would love the opportunity to move into a VP role supporting the teams who continue to evolve the products I worked to bring to market early in my career."
