Cisco Announces David Meads as New UK & Ireland leader

Cisco announced the appointment of David Meads to lead its UK & Ireland business. Meads, who recently led the Partner Organisation for Cisco in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia (EMEAR) and prior to that, spent a decade in leadership roles for the company in the Middle East and Africa, will take on the role with immediate effect.

The UK represents an important market for Cisco and is at a pivotal point in its digital transformation. With the seventh largest economy globally and a strong technology heritage, the nation has an imminent opportunity to improve upon its current ranking as the 13th most digitally ready in the world.

I’m excited to work with our partners, customers, government and employees to help continue to build an inclusive, digital future for both the UK and Ireland.”

This remains a focus as he joins the UK and Ireland business, where Cisco has over 4,000 IT partners, who with its own employees represent over 20,000 people who help to deliver for its customers daily.
