Cisco Chief Executive Is Making The Company Work On His Directions
Cisco Systems is said to be one of the biggest technology company in the information technology sector. The company has had good recent years in the market and it was going on with a good pace. However, recently the company slipped in a few regions which effected its overall position. According to sources, Cisco faced a major downfall in China which led to further extreme actions. The company recently made a change in its leadership where Chuck Robbins is made the new Chief Executive of the company.
Mr. Chuck Robbins has been with the company for a very long time and his passion and dedications towards the work and company made him eligible for this position. His approach has always been different when compared to the previous chief executives that have represented the company. He believes in having a proper team that can come up to an appropriate conclusion as well as that can take direct decisions.
Due to a major downfall in China, the company had to take an action and it did by removing a few senior executives at Cisco China. A lot of people as well as analysts were shocked with this move but that is how it works. The incoming boss, Chuck Robbins, has bid farewell to a few senior executives from the company’s operations in China due to ongoing weak performance in the territory. The Register reported “The move is also in line with Robbins' stated desire to flatten out the Borg's burgeoning bureaucracy. First Rob Lloyd and Gary Moore were given pink-slips, and later, Wim Elfrink, Padmasree Warrior and Edzard Overbeek were shown the door.”
Sources familiar to the matter told the Wall Street Journal that the president and vice president at Cisco China have been asked to step down off their positions. However, the Chairman Owen Chan will remain.
Cisco sales in China have been declining day by day and there has been a proper drain on the Asia Pacific operations of the company for a long time. In 2013, the company once again was hammered with a six percent downfall for the quarter and it is expected to happen again this year.
The departing CEO of the company, John Chambers, said in April that the company will continue to face tough challenges in the region.
Despite of all the challenges that the company is facing and it is expected to face, Chuck Robbins will have the ways to overcome them and make it one of the best in China as well in the coming times.
