Pilar
Schenk

Pilar isn’t afraid to get scrappy. And it’s through that grit that she has risen in her career to become not only the COO of Cisco, but a change agent hell-bent on disrupting the status quo. She doesn’t do it alone, preferring to be surrounded by colleagues who challenge her and inspire out-of-the-box ideas at every turn.

With a specialization in building high-performing teams across operational disciplines, Pilar has always been a fierce advocate for women in the workplace. As the COO of Cisco, she is committed to continuing to champion women so that they can continue to lead industries and shatter glass ceilings.
