Head of Products, Wireless, and UEM Solutions

ENCOURAGED TO EXCEL

Discover new paths to success

Overseeing Cisco’s wireless and systems manager portfolios, Jayanthi Srinivasan said her role comes with challenges — and with that comes fulfillment. “The variety keeps me both challenged and learning at all times,” Srinivasan said. Currently, one big opportunity comes in the shape of developing a team that bridges wireless cloud and non-cloud products. For Srinivasan, breaking that new ground is professionally thrilling. “This is a huge opportunity to make an enormous impact on the industry as well as the customers,” she said.

At Meraki, every employee is empowered to be their best and think outside the box to make things happen.

Korey Rebello

Product Manager

‘EVERYBODY IN’

Work across functions to grow

With a nod to the Meraki core value ‘Everybody in,’ Korey Rebello notes that this applies not only to a silo-free work environment that aids in career development, but it also applies to the work itself. “It’s reflected in how we develop and release products and features,” he said. “We seek feedback from a wide range of teams and customer profiles when designing and building new features to ensure they will have the greatest impact upon delivery.” From engineering to sales and now on the product team, Rebello’s own career path is representative of the cross-functional nature of the team.

There continues to be a wide variety of personal development programs and training events that provide us opportunities to significantly level up in our roles!

Mary Piontkowski

Head of Product Design

COLLEAGUE CAMARADERIE

Forming a nucleus through culture-building activities

Mary Piontkowski’s team helps shape Meraki products, but they also find time for bonding activities like speed networking and employee spotlight presentations. Piontkowski is especially fond of the team’s “monthly gratitude sessions.” These sessions were formed organically and allow everyone the chance to contribute to a values-led culture, increase engagement and promote happiness at work. “Activities like this, where we share genuine thanks and appreciation for one another, help create a safe and warm team dynamic. We practice kindness and learn so much about each other as people,” she said.

It’s up to all of us to maintain and shape our culture. We all need to show up and live our values: care deeply, everyone in, be brave, and simplify everything.
