- Chambers to Share Cisco’s Vision for the ‘Internet of Everything’
- 2014 International CES
Chambers’ keynote is slated for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, January 7 in The Venetian's Palazzo Ballroom. His address will be part of the Tech Titans keynote series, where CEOs from the most powerful companies in technology present their vision for revolutions in products, services and networks that will shape the next wave of innovation.
“The Internet of Everything is changing everything, creating greater opportunities for organizations, individuals, communities and countries than we saw with the first wave of the Internet,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CEA. “John Chambers is an industry visionary, and we are excited to welcome him back to the CES stage to share Cisco’s strategy for innovation to drive this market transition and create value as ‘everything’ comes online.”
Chambers has helped grow the company from $70 million when he joined Cisco in January 1991, to $1.2 billion when he assumed the role of CEO, to record revenues of $48.6 billion in 2013. In 2006, Chambers was named Chairman of the Board, in addition to his CEO role. Chambers has received numerous awards for his leadership over his past 18 years at the helm of Cisco, including the 2012 Bower Award for Business Leadership from the Franklin Institute, Time Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People,” one of Barron’s’ “World’s Best CEOs,” the “Best Boss in America” by 20/20, one of BusinessWeek’s “Top 25 Executives Worldwide,” “CEO of the Year” by Chief Executive Magazine, the Business Council’s “Award for Corporate Leadership,” and “Best Investor Relations by a CEO” from Investor Relations Magazine three times.
