Always a privilege to be back in #Singapore at #CNBCConvergeLIVE. Joined @CNBCi's Emma Crosby and @Razer's LiMeng Lee on the main stage to talk about the global AI race. cs.co/9005BBEYLT

Recently joined @valeriya_ionan for @forbes_ukr AI Day for a meaningful conversation on AI adoption, quantum computing, and what both mean for national digital priorities, economies, and people. @Cisco

Inspired day at the @UniofOxford as part of @Cisco's 'One Day at Your Customer' initiative. Deep conversations, big vision — including the new Global Leadership Centre, opening Sept 2026, powered by Cisco smart building tech. Proud to help bring it to life. #CiscoCustomerDay

What does the future of education look like? Spend time at @hfarmspa and you will see it firsthand. Proud to partner with them on the @CiscoNetAcad Center of Excellence on campus, and I recently shared with CNBC what we have coming next.

If we can bring digital skills to the Amazon, we can do it anywhere. João Davi grew up in a remote village—now, through Senac and @CiscoNetAcad, he has a future he couldn’t have imagined. Hear this story on BBC Storyworks: cs.co/9006hdSDe

Another exceptional week in Qatar wraps up. From AI to workforce readiness to digital infrastructure, every conversation reinforced that technology is only as powerful as our ability to put people at its center. Grateful for every partnership driving this work forward.

Spoke at #WebSummitQatar on the human imperative for our digital future: bringing humanities into tech training and understanding trust vs confidence in AI.

A 'Spirit of Dialogue' resonates deeply with how we must approach the work ahead. In this era of rapid tech transformation, our greatest opportunities come from collaboration across government, industry, and academia. Grateful for every conversation at #WEF26.

Great conversation with Mudiwa Gavaza on the @BDliveSA Spotlight. We discussed: AI & individual wellness, barriers to AI adoption, digital twins, south Africa’s digital behaviors, and more. Listen here: cs.co/9009hDHTS

Proud to sign a new MOU between Cisco , TRILUX and Simac in Kitzbühel this weekend, advancing smart building digitization. Celebrated at the Hahnenkamm Race—a perfect example of how teamwork drives progress. Thanks to our partners for this milestone.

The more artificial the intelligence, the greater the need for humanities in our decision-making. Enjoyed this conversation on human skills in the AI micro age. cs.co/9007C43lS

“The humanities don’t give you answers, they give you better questions.” As AI accelerates decision-making, ethical judgment becomes a defining leadership skill. Learn more from Cisco SVP @guydiedrich. cs.co/6012C0KoQ

Proud to share the @Cisco FY25 Purpose Report is now live, highlighting how our people, technology, and global networks are working together to address society’s most pressing challenges. cs.co/purpose

Happy to share my thoughts on AI in 2026 with @BusinessInsider, alongside fellow @Cisco SVP Aruna Ravichandran and other business leaders. cs.co/9000CmLLp

Reflecting on an inspiring week in the Netherlands & Luxembourg. Grateful to our @Cisco Benelux team, partners, and leaders—including Luxembourg Deputy PM Xavier Bettel—for sharing their time & vision as we advance AI, quantum, cybersecurity, and digital skills together.

We're in the middle of the AI era, moving at a pace that rewards bold, decisive action. My latest in Forbes Technology Council: why success belongs to those investing in specialized AI skills and embracing continuous learning. cs.co/90087Cnj6

This week I had the privilege of judging the Milken-Motsepe Innovation Prize in AI and Manufacturing. The 10 semifinalists were exceptional—each bringing ingenuity and commitment to solving real challenges. Excited to see the impact they'll bring to Africa. #MIGlobal

Honored to discuss Africa's AI opportunity at @Milken_Institute's MEA Summit. Cisco has invested in Africa for 30 years, training 3.3M learners through @CiscoNetAcad. We're committed to equipping many more with digital skills for the AI era. #MIGlobal

At the recent F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, I saw our @Cisco -@McLarenF1 partnership firsthand: technology enabling teams to operate at the speed of innovation. Learn more: cs.co/900872M7Y
