Today's focus: Cisco announces management shifts

By Phil Hochmuth

Cisco last week promoted Charles Giancarlo to chief development
officer, a year after he was named CTO and president of Cisco's
Linksys division.

He replaces Mario Mazzola, who is retiring as Cisco's head of
engineering. Mazzola, 58, had been with Cisco for 12 years.
Giancarlo will remain as the head of Linksys.

In a statement, Cisco CEO John Chambers said Mazzola's role as
head of engineering "contributed significantly during a pivotal
time in Cisco's history, solidifying our reputation for
innovation and risk taking... I have tremendous confidence in
[Giancarlo's] ability to build upon this foundation."

Giancarlo will handle R&D efforts behind all of Cisco's product
lines - from enterprise and carrier routing and switching, to
voice, security and home network gear - and an R&D operation
larger than many of the company's rivals' annual revenue. (Cisco
spent $3 billion on product development in its 2004 fiscal
year.) Cisco will look to fill the role of CTO - which focuses
on the promotion of Cisco technology - over the next several
months.

Other changes include the creation of the Data Center, Switching
and Security Technology Group, which will be headed by Senior
Vice President Jayshree Ullal. Formerly in charge of Cisco's
security business, Ullal takes over the storage and switching
responsibilities from Senior Vice President Luca Cafiero, who is
retiring.

Mike Volpi, senior vice president of Cisco's Routing Technology
Group, will add optical and service provider voice technology to
his responsibilities, as well as the company's overall service
provider strategy.
