Led by Michael Timmeny, Government Affairs contributes substantively to public policy decisions at a global, national, and local level, focusing on public policies that impact Cisco, our partners, and our customers.

Government Affairs also builds relationships with government leaders worldwide to promote Cisco as a technology expert and a thought leader in the technology sector.

The team is composed of former public officials, both elected and appointed, as well as seasoned government affairs professionals. The Government Affairs organization reports directly to Chuck Robbins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cisco.
