“The channel organisation, which is one of the largest within Cisco’s global business, has gone from strength to strength thanks to John Donovan and the team. I look forward to building on that success by ensuring our partners are in a strong position to ake advantage of some key market transitions and the exciting growth opportunities across emerging technologies and segments" commented Wightman.
John Donovan moves from his current role to head-up Cisco’s UK and Ireland Enterprise and Mid-Market business.

In 2005 she took on the role of developing Cisco’s SMB business. Wightman has successfully driven growth within the SMB operation through her leadership and collaborative style working across Cisco and with our partners.
