Dana Matthews
Chief of Staff
Cisco Supply Chain Org
As a Chief of Staff, I work with a large team to keep everyone informed and engaged. I also support my leader by managing important plans and projects to ensure everything goes smoothly.
I love my role because I see the positive impacts of teamwork and collaboration across a large group. It's rewarding to support my leader in making important plans successful and keeping everything running smoothly.
A typical day as a Chief of Staff involves closely collaborating with my leader, checking in on the team to stay updated on their progress, and planning both large strategic meetings and sensitive discussions. This role keeps me engaged with various aspects of the organization, ensuring effective communication and alignment on priorities.
I began as an intern in project management, then worked a few project manager jobs to learn more and gain experience. Through hard work and meeting new people, I eventually became a Chief of Staff!
In the future, I'm excited to become a leader and learn more about the supply chain, which is how products get to people. I also plan to continue volunteering and travel to new places, all while growing in my career and achieving great things!
I have so much fun shopping, going to awesome concerts, hanging out with friends, trying delicious new foods, and practicing yoga!
