Cisco Systems Inc. hired Autodesk Inc.'s R. Scott Herren as its
next chief financial officer, pointing to his role in driving
Autodesk's business transformation.
San Jose, Calif.-based Cisco, considered a proxy for corporate
high-tech hardware demand, has been moving to software and
services, relying increasingly less on equipment sales.
"With a background in software, Scott will be instrumental in
helping us accelerate our shift towards a software-based business
model," Cisco Chief Executive Chuck Robbins said in a
statement.
Mr. Herren is to join Cisco on Dec. 18 as executive vice
president and CFO, succeeding Kelly Kramer.
Autodesk said it has initiated the search for a CFO. The
company, which is slated to report third-quarter results on Nov.
24, said results for the quarter are expected to be above
Autodesk's guidance range across all metrics.
