Aubrey G.

STORYTELLER
I’m a natural-born storyteller with a serious love for words, and I have a knack for not only making emotional connections, but also connecting the dots and finding the story. Somehow my love of popular fiction landed me in marketing, where over the past 18+ years I’ve done a little bit of everything. Content marketing and communications, however, are my jam. Which makes sense, with the whole storytelling thing and all. Whether it's marketing or fiction, I love using words to inspire, educate, and entertain.

🧐Favorite question: “Why?”
🤓2nd favorite question: “How?”

DOT CONNECTOR
Every marketer likes to say they think “outside of the box;” I’m going to be honest: I’m not even sure where the box is. My natural curiosity, willingness to learn, and previous experiences enable me to connect dots and see possibilities—and potential roadblocks—in ways that most others can’t. When you combine my storytelling and dot connecting abilities, I have a “super power” that allows me to:

🔎Find the story
🗣️Capture unique voices
💡Identify opportunities
✨Anticipate outcomes

PASSIONATE ADVOCATE
Whether it’s through advocating for Cisco Partners and helping them tell their stories or advocating for Cisco’s disabled and neurodivergent community as the Global Co-Lead for the Connected Disability Action Network employee resource group, I’m a passionate advocate for the things I care about. And I use my skills in content management, thought leadership, and data storytelling to champion Cisco Partners and employees. I drive inclusivity initiatives, shape policies, and serve as an ambassador both within Cisco and in external forums to foster a culture of diversity and accessibility.

💜Fundamental belief: There is no true DEI without including disability and accessibility.
