History in the Making: How Women at Cisco Are Making Strides in Sustainability - Seite 2

She shared:

"It has been really rewarding to see sustainability increasingly embedded into our business.

The Cisco culture is very collaborative, and I've been fortunate to partner with so many colleagues passionate about driving impact through their roles, whether they are engineers rethinking product and packaging design, supply chain managers prioritizing sustainability in their sourcing strategies, or salespeople engaging customers on sustainable technology solutions.

We are working toward some ambitious sustainability goals, and I look forward to seeing the progress we'll make together over the coming years."

Esther Roure Vila, Sustainability Lead, Cisco Customer Experience (CX), EMEA

The economic and technical transformation needed to transition to net zero and sustainable business models will be substantial.

Esther joined Cisco in 2007 and for the past two years has shifted her focus to capturing this market opportunity and helping our customers on their journey to sustainability.

In partnership with CX Leaders and Sales, Esther supports customers with bridging the gap between their sustainability priorities and an executable roadmap.

She works interactively to set strategy, identify and align new opportunities, implement new business models, and drive revenue. She is building and managing cross-functional relationships at all levels of the business to enable our customers on their sustainability transformation, generating sustainability-driven growth.

Esther feels most inspired when mobilizing people to tackle the task at hand. She led the organization of Camino 2022 where 425 Cisco employees, friends, and families from 21 countries came together to train, prepare, and hike the Camino de Santiago-while raising funds for global charities battling cancer.

The experience was an opportunity for colleagues to connect after an extended time apart and positively impact people and the environment throughout the journey. Esther shared: "Sustainability is a big undertaking requiring interdependencies between people, planet, and profit."
