17,000 users. I also am certified as a Network plus, CCDP and CCSP.

I have 10 years of direct Cisco Experience working for an ISP. I also have a Masters in Business Administration from a medium sized school in Illinois. I will not have any direct reports but will be responsible for leading and planning all enterprise related projects and creating all network related policies, and leading all Network managers and Sr.network Engineers in managing the network.
