Cisco CTO Departs Company Following Management Shake-Up | Re/code

It's lonely at the top, for Cisco's new CEO

"The move comes in the wake of a succession race that has lasted nearly three years. In landing the CEO role, Robbins vaulted over the heads of several contenders including president Rob Lloyd, who had been considered the most likely successor and who was technically Robbins’s boss. Today Cisco announced that Lloyd and COO Gary Moore will also be leaving the company. As with Warrior, both will be leaving on July 25. All three had been considered possible contenders to succeed Chambers who first started talking about plans to leave Cisco in 2012. In a blog post, Robbins said he is about two weeks away from formally naming his leadership team."
