William Booth reacted on thisWilliam Booth reacted on thisAfter 13 incredible years, I'm among those impacted by the recent Cisco layoffs. I'm still processing it — but when I reflect on what this chapter meant to me, I'm overwhelmingly grateful. I grew from inside sales to consulting state, local, and Higher education customers across the country on some of the most meaningful infrastructure decisions they'll ever make. Helping school districts modernize aging networks, connecting underserved communities to the internet for the first time, and guiding organizations toward secure, scalable foundations they'll build on for decades — that work mattered. And over the last few years, that work took on a new dimension. The conversations shifted. Every customer started asking the same questions: Are we secure enough? Are we ready for AI? Can our infrastructure support what's coming? I spent a lot of time helping organizations think through not just what they needed today, but how to build networks and adopt services that were future-ready — resilient, observable, and secure by design. That's where I found my groove, and it's where I want to keep playing. To my Cisco family — the teammates, partners, mentors, and customers who shaped me: thank you. You made 13 years fly by. Now I'm ready for what's next. I'm actively exploring sales leadership and account executive opportunities — ideally with a company where security, AI readiness, and delivering real customer value are core to the mission. If that sounds like your team, let's talk. And to anyone else in my network navigating this same moment — reach out. Warm intro, a reference, a brainstorm — I'm here for it. We take care of each other. #OpenToWork #SalesLeadership #AI #Cybersecurity #FutureReady #Cisco #NextChapter

Relying on provider-specific solutions is a shortcut to "management debt." 💸 When you have data siloed in AWS, Azure, and your private data center, you lose visibility and control. 🌪️ To win at cloud projects, you need technology that works across every environment. 🔒 The 2025 EMA report explains why a unified NSoT is the secret weapon for successful multi-cloud management. Don't let cloud silos break your automation. See how the pros handle it! 📖👀 https://ow.ly/kR2550XZBok 👈 Read the Findings #NetDevOps #EIP #Networking #data #datacenter # #cloudsolutions #NSoT #EMAReport #cloudtools

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸? For my next post highlighting sponsors of the PCI AP and EU Community Meetings (CM), I am featuring VikingCloud. https://lnkd.in/gXvJnNm5 Thank you to the VikingCloud team! I appreciate you signing up as the: (a) Premium Sponsor (the highest tier!) covering the Vendor Showcase at the North America Community Meeting; (b) Platinum Sponsor (top sponsor) covering the Welcome Reception at the Europe Community Meeting; and (c) Support Sponsor covering the coffee sleeves at the AP Community Meeting. PCI events are expensive to host and your sponsorships help us to offset the cost of the events! Hotels are an obvious target because they are a major merchant category, highly visible and accept lots of payments, both online and in-person. Based on VikingCloud’s 2025 State of Hospitality Cyber Report, 66% of hotel IT and cybersecurity leaders report more frequent cybersecurity attacks and 50% said that the attacks are more severe. Download the report here: https://lnkd.in/gggJdvKd Last week, I received an email from a leader of a hotel belonging to a large hotel chain. He has received notification to submit their PCI DSS documentation and the leader has no idea what to do… 🤷♂️ If you operate a business that must adopt PCI DSS, do send your staff for training or engage someone who can help you. PCI conducts many in-person and virtual trainings through the year. Look into the PCI ISA (Internal Security Assessor) or PCIP (PCI Professional Training) trainings. https://lnkd.in/gcA4hPxS And there are many PCI QSA (Qualified Security Assessors) around the world who can assist you. QSAs are independent cybersecurity companies who perform PCI DSS security assessments. They are trained and licensed by PCI Council. https://lnkd.in/gpH8V7Cp If you do not have the expertise to manage the compliance or protect your systems (and your brand reputation), do get help. VikingCloud cited that more than 80% of hotels were able to resolve incidents within 12 hours when they engaged an MSSP. Thanks for sharing your insights, VikingCloud! As a PCI GEAR (Global Executive Assessors Roundtable) member representing the PCI assessor community, do share these insights with the PCI leaders during your quarterly meetings to influence and improve PCI standards. Disclaimer: PCI Council is a neutral body and my personal post is not an endorsement of any organization or solution.
