Carlos Dominguez is a Senior Vice President in Cisco’s Office of the Chairman of the Board and CEO and a technology evangelist, speaking to and motivating audiences worldwide about how technology is changing how we communicate, collaborate, and especially how we work. Carlos gives humorous, highly-animated presentations full of deep insight into how technology, and the right culture, can transform a company and help create a very loyal and engaged customer base. Drawing from his 18 years working at Cisco, he first creates the big picture of how technology is impacting business -- and the wider world -- then is very prescriptive in describing where to start and how to use technology to be successful in the new Internet economy.
Carlos also enjoys talking about the psychology behind technology and social media; for example, WHY people spend an average of an hour a day on Facebook, and why people adapt to certain technologies and social media more than others. Carlos is particularly excited about video and mobility, and says these technologies are becoming very ubiquitous and taking off just like the Internet did in 1995.
Carlos co-leads Cisco's Mexico and Brazil Boards, which oversee new business in those countries, and is fluent in Spanish, and was recently named one of the "Top 50 Hispanic Executives" in the United States by Hispanic Engineering and Information Technology magazine. He gave his keynote speech at Networkers Mexico 2009 in Spanish.
He lives in New Jersey and before joining Cisco, Carlos held management positions at Timeplex, Inc. in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, and at New Jersey Bell/Bell Atlanticom.
Carlos stays connected to his audiences long after his presentations as an avid user of social media. You can find him at his Web site at
