ThousandEyes delivers visibility into digital experiences across the internet, helping companies see how their customers and employees connect with critical apps and services. After being acquired by Cisco in 2020, its capabilities are stronger than ever. “Now that we’re part of Cisco, it’s amazing to see the scale at which we are operating,” VP of Engineering Murtaza Doctor said. “We have a seat at the table with enterprise customers and are helping them every step of the way on their digital journeys.” By setting clear goals and expectations, creating a culture of open communication and providing opportunities for development, both employees and clients feel aligned, valued and heard.

Improving lives through innovation
As VP/GM of ThousandEyes, Joe Vaccaro’s role is about continuous improvement. “People turn to ThousandEyes to give them superpowers to gain visibility and control into every digital experience,” he said.
