Kim Austin

Collaboration Solutions Marketing Manager | Cisco

According to Twitter, I'm the Lorax of Cisco Collaboration Marketing. I speak for the trees! Well, really I speak for users. I focus on business and human aspects of collaboration technology. I'm a writer, storyteller, editor, social-media geek, and marketer. I've been at Cisco for 15+ years and surrounded by high-tech since it became "a thing." I learned BASIC programming on a PET computer with an external cassette tape drive. I had to explain what e-mail was when people saw a weird line on my first business cards. And I remember when the land where my office is now was an orange grove. (And that doesn't make me all that old...)
