Sam Gersten

After starting out in consulting (Strategy&), I'v since moved to in-house Corporate Strategy (Cisco) while advising startups on growth & operations. I have a Kellogg MBA, a UPenn BA, and can help you make the transition from consulting to tech strategy! As a Senior Manager in Corporate Strategy at Cisco, I lead teams in developing growth strategies across domains, including AI, cloud data centers, and supply chain management. My experience extends to advising startups on strategic finance and business operations, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of both corporate and entrepreneurial landscapes. Having coached startup founders in business strategy and operations, and regularly helping Fortune 500 executives solve strategic questions in my work, I bring passion and experience about helping clients navigate complex challenges and achieve their professional goals. Let's connect to tailor a strategy that aligns with your aspirations!
