At Cisco, she leads global storytelling efforts that translate complex technologies into narratives that resonate with real people. With over a decade of experience across branding, corporate communications, and innovation, Julie has filed five patents (two awarded with three pending), launched company-wide messaging strategies, and helped teams find their authentic voice through the technical clutter.

Before Cisco, she taught communications internationally and worked on iconic brands like Apple, Jaguar, and Mattel. Today, she’s expanding her expertise even further by pursuing a certificate in Applied Narrative Intelligence— a field that blends storytelling, psychology, and design to help people (and systems) make better sense of the world.
