Cisco's product development dream team calls it quits
Apparently unhappy with a recent management shake-up, four legendary Cisco Systems executives are leaving the company.
Mario Mazzola, Prem Jain, Luca Cafiero and Soni Jiandani -- the product development team behind some of Cisco's most successful products -- are leaving on June 17, as the Wall Street Journal first reported.
Their decision follows the announcement last week that Mazzola, Jain and Cafiero -- who previously helped manage Cisco's Insieme Networks -- were reassigned as advisers to the company. Jiandani, Cisco announced, would keep her title as senior vice president and continue to lead Insieme.
