2012 was Mike Ansley’s first full year as Cisco Canada’s channel chief. And what a year it was. Between acquisitions, changes to the partner program critically focusing on midmarket- and SMB-focused solution providers, and new focus from headquarters, it was a busy year for Cisco.

Add to that, the company made some major waves in Canada with major hiring initiatives, strategic partnerships with government and education partners, and of course Cisco Canada president Nitin Kawale’s own mission to address Canada’s lagging productivity.

Ansley joins our New Year’s series of podcasts to discuss all that, as well as what Cisco partners can expect from the company in 2013.
