Huma Hamid
Product Manager for AI-Powered Learning Experiences

I am a Product Manager. I lead the vision for what product ideas our teams should invest in that will add value to our users and help grow our business. I then collaborate with engineering, UX, and business teams to bring those product ideas to life. Currently, I am spearheading AI strategy and execution, while aligning them with Cisco's business goals to drive revenue growth and operational efficiency. I am collaborating with engineering and platform engineering teams to develop core services and platform capabilities that support AI-led experiences.
Cisco's mission is to shape the future of the Internet by creating unprecedented value and opportunity for our customers, employees, investors, and ecosystem partners. Cisco's core values are “inspiring leaders, creating change, and inclusivity", which I love. I really enjoy the process of building products and the positive impacts those products create for our users.
My day is filled with meetings, presentations, ideation and execution, research, and analysis!
