Passionate Experts, Global Champions for Change

What makes a Cisco Champion? Passion, plus a desire to share their perspectives with the community. There are Cisco Champions all over the world. They represent a variety of segments across the IT industry. And they offer their time to help others learn about Cisco and connect with Cisco in unique ways.

• Supporting their peers in social communities, forums, and networks
• Sharing their relevant experiences and thoughts on Cisco blogs
• Providing valuable feedback directly to Cisco
