Cisco Global Channel Chief Keith Goodwin Announces Changes

Cisco Systems Global Channel Chief Keith Goodwin (pictured) set off some fireworks ahead of the July 4th weekend. In a blog post today, Goodwin announced Worldwide Partner Organization (WWPO) leadership changes that strive to “accelerate growth in FY11 and beyond.” Three well-known names now have new roles within Cisco. Here they are.

The updates include new roles for Cisco’s Edison Peres, Wendy Bahr and Dave O’Callaghan. As a result of the changes, Cisco is now “actively searching” for Bahr’s replacement as the leader of the US and Canada Partner Organization and O’Callaghan’s replacement as leader of Worldwide Distribution. The VAR Guy needs a bit more time to digest the news, but here’s the complete blog post from Goodwin.
