Cisco CEO in waiting, Charles Giancarlo, has resigned.
Giancarlo, whose last day is December 31, will reportedly join investment firm Silver Lake as a managing director. Silver Lake, as you may recall, is the investment firm that nabbed Avaya in a well publicized private equity deal last June.
In a shift away from current business practices, Cisco Chairman and Chief Executive John Chambers announced that the company would appoint a group of executives to oversee acquisitions and other business deals, as opposed to the current “command and control” organization.
