Cisco Interviews... Me?!

4:25 PM -- Besides John Chambers himself, Zoya Fallah is perhaps the easiest person to recognize when you're roaming Cisco's sprawling Tasman Drive campus in San Jose, Calif. And, really, that's all I need to say about the power of YouTube, blogs, and other social media.

In this two-part interview, Zoya picks my tired brain on several media topics, including the all-important question: "If you were a piece of networking equipment, which one would you be?"





Wow. Can I have ended that interview by being any more of a bummer? Congrats to Zoya for knowing when too much Phil is just enough.

About the Author(s)

Phil Harvey

Editor-in-Chief, Light Reading

Phil Harvey has been a Light Reading writer and editor for more than 18 years combined. He began his second tour as the site's chief editor in April 2020.

His interest in speed and scale means he often covers optical networking and the foundational technologies powering the modern Internet.

Harvey covered networking, Internet infrastructure and dot-com mania in the late 90s for Silicon Valley magazines like UPSIDE and Red Herring before joining Light Reading (for the first time) in late 2000.

After moving to the Republic of Texas, Harvey spent eight years as a contributing tech writer for D CEO magazine, producing columns about tech advances in everything from supercomputing to cellphone recycling.

Harvey is an avid photographer and camera collector – if you accept that compulsive shopping and "collecting" are the same.
