Cisco New Zealand country leader Jess McFadden has been promoted to East Managing Director of Cisco Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ). The new role expands her responsibilities to include New South Wales in Australia and the Pacific Islands, and she will relocate back to Sydney while continuing to oversee the New Zealand market.

In a LinkedIn post she thanked partners, customers and her New Zealand team, saying the relationships “are simply entering an exciting new chapter.” Cisco said McFadden will travel regularly to New Zealand and that a new regional manager for NZ sales will report to her as part of further investment in the country's leadership team.
