On The World’s Stage
The world’s largest business, political and academic world leaders descended upon Davos, Switzerland, this week for the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting where top of mind for most CEOs and executives were climate change, trade wars and global economic growth concerns.
In attendance as usual was Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins, who took a slightly more positive stance on business growth and future profitability than his CEO peers—as long as trade issues can be resolved, Robbins noted.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Robbins talked about the importance of global communications standards, the possible implications of the U.S-China trade deal, the company’s shift in favor of software and now also selling semiconductors. What follows are excerpts from Robbins’ interview.
