People Behind Purpose at Cisco: During World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, Everyone Can Be an Advocate - Seite 2

What is your current role at Cisco, and how do you incorporate Purpose into your everyday work?

Scarlet: I am part of CX IB Methodology core program team responsible for consultants' enablement as well as program development. We partner with renewals teams to make recommendations for services and software renewals, simplifying the renewals landscape and aligning on sales motions to help Cisco optimize customer solutions. My passion is to translate complexity into a simple customer's lens. I have always sought out roles where my primary purpose is to serve and I am always looking for a better, simpler way to do things. People often come to me when they want someone to explain why things are playing out a certain way and to pick up on the hidden complexities of a situation. Every day I strive to make a difference and drive impactful results for our CX organization and Cisco. Working at Cisco offers great flexibility, interacting with people worldwide daily. For me, on top of this, I love to use my Time 2 Give hours (T2G) to help with the migrant community and their issues.

How did you first become involved in the Foundation for a Slavery Free World?

Scarlet: I first learned about the Foundation for a Slavery Free World through my daughter in late 2021. She is an actor and had a role on a movie with fellow actor Marisol Nichols, who is the founder and executive director of the foundation.

In between movie takes, I had the opportunity to learn about Marisol's work as an undercover agent to take down traffickers and she shared about an operation where several women from Venezuela were rescued in the Caribbean. Learning about this, and how it affects people from my home country, motivated me to help find a way to get involved with Slavery Free World.

Marisol has been a part of numerous undercover stings leading to the successful arrest of dozens of traffickers and child predators, as well as liberating numerous women and children. And her passion, education, and advocacy for this important and global crisis moved me to help secure a grant through Bright Funds to support SFW's work.

Why is volunteering with Slavery Free World important to you?

Scarlet: As a mom, you are concerned for your children's wellbeing, especially in this digital age where it is very easy for online predators and bad actors to get to vulnerable children. They're a lot more exposed to the world out there than any previous generations.
