Based in Dubai, Ossama will be responsible for nurturing and strengthening Cisco’s relationship with its growing partner ecosystem throughout the region while working closely with cross-functional teams to build on Cisco’s partner-led strategy. In his role, Ossama will oversee the planning and execution of Cisco’s go-to-market strategies and innovative models for business growth with the company's partners.
Ossama brings more than 24 years of leadership experience in the technology industry, having held a variety of roles across partner, commercial and sales at companies including VMware, Microsoft and AMD. Most recently, he served as Senior Director of VMware’s South EMEA Partner Organization.
