I am pleased to share some great news!  After months of discussion, today networking industry leader Jonathan Davidson is joining our Service Provider Business Unit and my senior leadership team as SVP/GM -SP Networking.

Having served as executive vice president and general manager of Juniper Development and Innovation, and earlier SVP/GM for Juniper's Security, Switching and Solutions, Jonathan drove strategy, development and business growth for Juniper's entire portfolio -including networking solutions, routing, switching, data center, cloud, and security.

Earlier, Jonathan held a variety of leadership positions at Cisco, developing service provider solutions and leading the enterprise routing product management and SP services team.

We couldn't be more excited that Jonathan joins our journey as we usher in the next generation of networking and network automation innovation. He brings extensive experience in strategy and network engineering leadership as well as strong customer relationships that will serve us well.

We are looking forward to Jonathan and our networking leadership team breaking new ground in networking automation as we transform service providers worldwide. We are thrilled to welcome him back to Cisco!
