Canada is leading the way for innovation in the vendor’s worldwide channel programs
In recent discussions, Cisco’s worldwide channel leaders have been talking up Canada.
First, it was Jim Sherriff, who noted after being named the company’s new channel chief for the U.S. and Canada that in previous roles, he loved testing out new programs in Canada for a variety of reasons. More recently, it was Dave O’Callaghan, the company’s new midmarket sales boss, who highlighted the important role Canada was playing in rolling out the company’s new go-to-market model for the 100-to-1,000-seat business segment.
