Management Business Unit is leaving his position and a headhunter has been
hired to seek a replacement for Nye according to a Cisco source.
Earlier this year, Network World reported that Nye outsourced the U.S. jobs
of 3 Cisco groups he managed to Tech Mahindra in India. Nye managed Cisco's
service provider network management applications serving wireline, mobile
wireless and cable providers.

Cisco quietly outsourcing to India, cutting jobs:

Cisco Systems Chairman & CEO John Chambers said two Indians - Padmasree
Warrior, 51, its CTO & chief strategy officer, and Pankaj Patel, 58, its
executive vice-president & chief development officer - are in contention to
succeed him as CEO when he steps down sometime in the next two-to-four years.
About 30% of the company's workforce will be in India in the not-so-distant
future, up from about one-sixth at present. Even six years ago, Cisco had
only 1,400 people in India. That number has since grown to 11,300.
"I am looking at India beyond labour arbitrage or outsourcing. No other high
-tech company has put majority of its R&D and services utilisation in India,
" Chambers said.
The Cisco board has shortlisted about 10 candidates who could succeed
Chambers. It reviews the list every quarter.

profound proponent of "Seamless Mobility" hahaha
from wiki:
Warrior joined Motorola in 1984,[3] as one of only a few women in its
Arizona facility. Over the course of her 23 years at the company, she served
in a broad range of roles, including Corporate Vice President and General
Manager of Motorola’s Energy Systems Group, and Corporate Vice President
and Chief Technology Officer in its Semiconductor Products Sector,[3] which
later became Freescale Semiconductor. Immediately prior to becoming Motorola
’s CTO, she served as general manager of Thoughtbeam, a wholly owned
Motorola subsidiary chartered to commercialize Motorola’s GaAs on silicon
technology that was developed at the Physical Sciences Research Laboratory
in Tempe, Arizona. This position was short-lived, however, because the
Thoughtbeam technology was found to be based on erroneous measurements.[4]
Her promotion to CTO after this failed venture has been called a "Dilbert
moment" by observers in the technology industry.[5] When named Motorola's
CTO in January 2003, Warrior became a senior vice president [6] and in 2005
she was promoted to executive vice president.[7]
During Warrior’s tenure as CTO, Motorola was awarded the 2004 National
Medal of Technology by the President of the United States, the first time
the company had received this honor. During this period she was a profound
proponent of "Seamless Mobility" - the concept of having seamless
communication across all facets of a person's life. The dream was not fully
realized and the concept was eventually dropped from Motorola marketing
presentations. She also is known for criticizing, in her blog "Bits on my
Edge",[8] the Apple iPhone, which later became a huge success in the cell
phone industry[9] On December 4, 2007, she left Motorola to become CTO at
Cisco Systems. |
