Oliver Tuszik joins Cisco’s Executive Leadership Team as EVP, Global Sales

Today I’m thrilled to share that Oliver Tuszik has been named Executive Vice President, Global Sales, and will join Cisco’s Executive Leadership Team, effective April 27. Since announcing Gary Steele’s departure in February and launching our search for a new Sales leader, it became clear that Oliver was the right person to step into the role as we look to support our customers and partners in the AI era and accelerate Cisco’s growth. 

Oliver is currently President of Cisco’s Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region and has been at Cisco for more than 10 years. He joined us as General Manager of Germany, and he also led Global Partner Sales and Routes to Market sales for nearly five years. Prior to joining Cisco, Oliver was CEO of Computacenter in Germany, one of Cisco’s largest partners.  

Oliver brings a global perspective and a proven track record of operational excellence to this role. Above all, his passion for our customers and partners and their success shines through in all that he does. He will work in partnership with Cisco’s Marketing, Product, and CX organizations to ensure we are building the most innovative products our customers need and help them unlock the power of Cisco’s technology and solutions to achieve their own outcomes.  

I’d like to once again thank Gary for his commitment and engagement during this time of transition. He and Oliver will work closely together over the next few weeks to ensure continuity for our customers. I am confident Oliver will continue to drive success for our customers and partners, our people, and for Cisco, and I look forward to seeing all that he and the team will accomplish.
