“Thanks in part to our supplier and partner relationships, Cisco recently closed out a strong fiscal year despite a myriad of ongoing pressures and global disruptions. We continue to double down on our collaborative and strategic efforts focused on resiliency, security, and sustainability,” said Marco de Martin, Vice President, Supplier Management, Cisco. “Our SAE theme this year, “Powering Growth Together” highlights the aptitude of our partner and supplier network to innovate and adapt in a collaborative spirit as we deliver for customers. Together, we will continue making significant investments in hybrid cloud, hybrid work, Security, IoT, 5G and Wi-Fi in response to technology megatrends and transitions across the globe. Now more than ever, it is an exciting time to work with Cisco as we make significant investments in our supply chain, transform our business, and look to the future as one team.”

At SAE, Cisco celebrated the collective achievements and contributions of its most strategic supply chain partners and recognized the suppliers and partners that executed exceptionally well across the supply chain.
