Colin Seward is Chief Sustainability Officer at Cisco, responsible for driving the company's environmental sustainability strategy forward and supporting customers in their sustainability journeys. Colin brings more than two decades of Cisco technology leadership experience to this role, including serving as CIO for Cisco EMEA and global roles spanning infrastructure, collaboration, cloud productivity, application development, and workforce transformation. Most recently, as Cisco's Sustainability Technology and Data Lead, he spearheaded the development of Cisco's Sustainability Data Foundation, an enterprise data platform that improves visibility, analysis, and decision-making. That combination of technology and sustainability leadership shapes his approach to the role: treating emissions, energy and circularity data with the same rigour as financial data, and using it to make sustainability commitments auditable and actionable across a global business and its supply chain.
