Cisco, the world’s leading IT and networking company,
today announced the appointment of a new President for its Asia Pacific &
Japan business.
After three years at the helm of Cisco Japan,
Miyuki Suzuki has been promoted to president for Asia Pacific & Japan.
Charged with regional revenue growth across 18 markets, and propelling customer
digital transformation and cybersecurity efforts, Suzuki will report to Chris
Dedicoat, executive vice president of Worldwide Sales and Field Operations.
A seasoned executive with more than 35 years’
experience, prior to Cisco, Suzuki served in numerous leadership positions for
organizations throughout Asia, spanning across technology, aviation,
telecommunications and financial services.
Suzuki assumes the leadership from Irving Tan,
who last month took on the newly created role of senior vice president of Operations
and Digital. Joining Chairman and CEO Chuck Robbins’ executive
leadership team, Tan will be responsible for driving Cisco’s digital
transformation across the company in partnership with Sales, Engineering and
other functions.
Commenting on her appointment, Miyuki
Suzuki, President, Asia Pacific & Japan at Cisco said:
“Asia boasts incredible diversity, with each country presenting new, and often
untapped opportunities. With growing economies and increasing technological
maturity, Cisco is positioning itself at the heart of regional innovation, enabling
customers to collaborate and transform by taking the time to understand the
needs of each individual market. I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead
and developing new bridges.”
“Miyuki has been instrumental in driving
Cisco’s breakthrough growth in Japan in recent years by securing a broad
partner network, developing exemplary company initiatives and building customer
trust,” added Chris Dedicoat, executive vice president of Worldwide
Sales and Field Operations at Cisco. “I’m confident Miyuki
has the right experience, innovative thinking and leadership qualities to
capture market opportunities across the wider region in her expanded role.”
Currently based in Tokyo, Suzuki will relocate
to Cisco’s Asia Pacific & Japan headquarters in Singapore in the near
future. Recruitment is underway for her successor for President of Cisco
Japan and will be announced in due course.
