Take The Multiplier Effect pledge today.

Sponsorship is essential to creating rich and diverse teams. Having a rich pipeline of diversity is very important for me as I believe diverse teams are the best teams. Two years ago at Mobile World Congress, Cisco introduced The Multiplier Effect, which asks leaders to take a pledge to sponsor at least one extraordinary diverse candidate in their organization and challenge their peers to do the same. We started this movement based on the desire to help change the equation for diversity in the tech industry. Recently, I had the honor of becoming the executive sponsor for The Multiplier Effect and look forward to working with leaders at Cisco and across every industry to bring the power of sponsorship to the forefront.

At Cisco, accelerating diversity is a top priority across our global enterprise. We believe a focus on inclusion is not simply the right thing to do
