Managing Director - MEA Service Provider

Meet the Team

We are seeking a Managing Director to head Cisco’s Service Provider business across the Middle East and Africa. We are looking for an inspiring individual with a strong background in sales and leadership, executive presence, resilience, and outstanding interpersonal skills - someone who motivates high-performing teams, accelerates growth through cross-selling, upselling, and new franchise acquisition, and cultivates lasting customer and partner relationships.

In this highly strategic role, you will orchestrate Cisco’s engagement across the global ecosystem - including international teams, partners, and business support functions, to implement go-to-market and coverage strategies, deliver innovative solutions and advancing our market position.

If you are a self-starter who values inclusivity and thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, we invite you to join us and help build the future of Cisco’s business in the region.

As Managing Director, you will set the vision and drive execution for a dynamic sales team, developing and executing ambitious growth strategies and comprehensive sales plans to strengthen our market presence.

You will represent Cisco at industry events, business forums, and with customers, amplifying Cisco’s brand and strategic influence.

Your success will be measured by top-line growth, pipeline expansion, and achievement of both short and long-term objectives.

You will lead teams to define and execute our go-to-market strategy, align resources, and ensure operational excellence - from forecasting and reporting to project management and executive communication.

You will use your knowledge of Cisco’s product portfolio to effectively articulate the "One Cisco Story" and align solutions to our customers’ needs.

You will build and sustain strategic relationships with our partners.

You will be responsible for the growth and succession of your team, cultivating a high-performance culture, teamwork, and building a strong leadership foundation for scalable, future-focused initiatives.

By optimizing processes and using advanced digital tools, AI and automation, you will accelerate our business and reinforce Cisco’s leadership in the Middle East and Africa.
