TECHNICAL ACCOUNT MANAGER | THOUSANDEYES MEXICO

About ThousandEyes (part of Cisco) The name ThousandEyes was born from two big ideas.
the power to see things not ordinarily possible and the ability to collect insights from a multitude of vantage points.
As organizations rely more on cloud services and the Internet, the network has become a black box they can't understand.
Our Internet and cloud intelligence platform delivers the only collectively powered view of the Internet, cloud and SaaS platforms, helping enterprises and service providers work together to identify problems before it impacts revenue, damages brand reputation, or halts employee productivity.

We Are Cisco #WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but we bring our talents to work as a team and make a difference.
Here’s how we do it.
We embrace digital, and help our customers implement change in their digital businesses.
Some may think we’re “old” (30 years strong!) and only about hardware, but we’re also a software company.
And a security company.
An AI/Machine Learning company.
We even invented an intuitive network that adapts, predicts, learns and protects.
No other company can do what we do – you can’t put us in a box! But “Digital Transformation” is an empty buzz phrase without a culture that allows for innovation, creativity, and yes, even failure (if you learn from it.) Day to day, we focus on the give and take.
We give our best, we give our egos a break and we give of ourselves (because giving back is built into our DNA.) We take accountability, we take bold steps, and we take difference to heart.
Because without diversity of thought and a commitment to equality for all, there is no moving forward.
So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care.
Tattoos? Show off your ink.
Like polka dots? That’s cool.
