Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins has been shaking up the networking giant's technology innovation team. But the restructuring of Cisco's 25,000-member engineering team has led to numerous departures, including the recent exit of Chief Technology Officer Zorawar Biri Singh.
Singh is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the amount of top Cisco innovators and engineers who have left the San Jose, Calif.-based company in recent years. Many have since started their own networking companies that now compete head-to-head with Cisco, including SD-WAN startup CloudGenix and networking startup Avi Networks.
