Sean Murphy: I was very fortunate to have hired Jeff into my team In the early days at Cisco. He drove significant improvements in design quality by focusing on the accuracy of our component and design library data at a chip, board, and system level. He fostered teamwork across the various engineering design and service teams with a low key outcomes oriented engagement style that allowed a diversity of views to be expressed and a working consensus to emerge. Subsequent managers and executives at Cisco recognized his management and leadership skills and promoted him several times over the next 15 years.
