Thanks for all your effort to make CNC Workflows launch at Cisco Live! US a success. We saw really positive customer and partner feedback overall. From getting the service running live at launch, to having the automated branch deployment usecase demoable, to producing launch content, to building and presenting content for speaking sessions and demos, to helping with exec keynotes and blogs, to staffing and driving conversations with customers/partners in Whisper Suite and WoS demo pod – it was amazing to see the everything come together.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all the incredible work you’ve put into our go-to-market comm. efforts. Your dedication, and unwavering commitment have not gone unnoticed. You played a crucial role in completing comms. for 18.1 firmware freeze. Whether it’s crafting FAQs, support notifications, or collaborating seamlessly across departments, your contributions have made a significant impact. Thank you.

Director or Product Management, Cisco

Thank you Kamden for going above and beyond and helping pull the content framework together for the Workflows part of the NX SKO. Your effort allowed us to present a compelling story and raise significant awareness for Workflows across the sales organization. Thanks for your effort and dedication!

Vice President, Global Networking Sales

Thank you for being such an integral part of our NX Sales Summit's success! Big shoutout for your work on the content and slides for last week's NX sales summit! Your dedication to honing your presentations and the time you invested in your segment did not go unnoticed. Your efforts armed our sellers with helpful strategies to crush it in the latter half of this fiscal year.

Sr. Product Marketing Leader, Cisco

Kamden - thank you for jumping in and helping create materials for the NX Sales Kickoff virtual event. Your extra effort in getting it to the finishing line for the event is appreciated. Kamden - the Cisco Workflows content was a compelling story of us taking that step toward out Cisco Networking Cloud vision - which also received accolades from Austin Lin. I appreciate you.

Sr. Product Marketing Leader, Cisco

Kamden - Thank you for going above and beyond to work cross-organizationally both inside and outside of CSM to provide promotion through Knowledge Articles for Design Case Studies. The ongoing promotion on the Cisco Community Site is a great idea. Well done.

Business Operations Analyst

Kamden is the only PMM who has proactively reached out to me so far about NPI comms ahead of time. He is also the only one who completed the comms and sent them to me ahead of time as well! I am really impressed by his diligence, professionalism, and communication with team members. Excited to continue working with Kamden on the launch of the Z4C.

Omni-Channel Marketing Manager

You are an amazing colleague to have on our team. With your help, were were able to effectively visualize very data heavy business readout and tell a story that was easily understandable to all stakeholders, all while helping us save valuable hours and effort in the process. What's even more impressive is that you joined Cisco merely 6 weeks ago, and in that short time you were able to familiarize yourself with Cisco's tech stack, learnt quickly from the experts and delivered a domo dashboard which was well beyond our expectations. This will help us in our future readouts as well. Thank you for your incredible skills, ability to learn at an unbelievable pace, and your innovative mindset, we were able to achieve our goal in a matter of days - which without you we had been trying to accomplish for a few weeks. Thank you!

Sr Product Marketing Leader, Cisco

Kamden - thank you for the coordination you provided across the team to get us over the finish line with the 17.10 NPI. You were able to bring together the executive briefing materials that were used in Grab N' Go sessions, regional briefings and the SalesVOD.
