What's been your career highlight so far?

As the service delivery lead for the UKI, I was responsible for Cisco's role as the official network infrastructure supporter to the London 2012 Games, which included the implementation of the Wifi Network in partnership with BT.

This was the ultimate example of how Cisco and its partners can collaborate to deliver a world class-event under the focus of the world's media. There was no service impacting issues reported during both the Olympics and Paralympic Games, and personally a phenomenal experience!
