SAN FRANCISCO: Motorola’s former chief technology officer Padmasree Warrior on Tuesday has joined Cisco Systems Inc. to take up the CTO position in the Internet infrastructure provider.

She announced her resignation from Motorola on Monday.

The CTO position in Cisco has been vacant for two years, after Charles Giancarlo was made the chief development officer of the company in July 2005. Giancarlo is likely to succeed John Chambers.

“I am eager to bring to Cisco my technical expertise, over 20 years of experience in many aspects of the communications industry, a global bent of mind and an energizing leadership style,” Warrior wrote in a post on Cisco’s official blog.

Her posts on the Motorola blog were widely read.

“As we get to know each other, you will also see me as a tireless champion for innovation and inclusion. I enjoy envisioning and creating the future, and leveraging technology leadership for business growth. Expertise, experience, energy - these exemplify my platform for achievement,” she wrote.



Warrior added, “this Platform Paradigm draws me to Cisco.”

Her resignation from Motorola came a week after the handset maker’s chief executive Ed Zander had quit the firm.
