Cisco Community Designated VIP Class of 2022

[Hilda Arteaga]

Happy 2022 and hearty Congratulations to all the Designated VIPs of class 2022!

We’re happy to announce the 2022 Cisco Designated VIP Class of the Cisco Community. This time we have 54 VIPs, 14 of which are new. And for the first time in the history of the program, we have 3 ladies in the same class. Thank you, ladies and all the experts, for the incredible contributions you have made to the community.  

The Cisco Designated VIP program recognizes the top external individual contributors in Cisco's online communities, including Cisco Community, and Cisco Learning (CLN).

Cisco Designated VIPs are recognized by their peers for their expertise, tireless contributions, and their abundant participation that is vital to community success. With this program, Cisco formally recognizes the positive, valuable influence that our top individual members exert on the communities overall. 

Along with the 2022 class, we're also sending a heartfelt congratulations to these Cisco technology industry leaders!

Special acknowledgment goes to Jonathan Schulenberg, Leo Laohoo, Richard Burts, and Scott Fella for being a Cisco Designated VIP for 12th time (since the inception of the program). Additionally, Jon Marshall and Reza Sharifi are VIPs for the 11th time. THANK YOU!

For over a decade this program continues rocking and recognizing those who share their time and knowledge to help thousands around the globe. Thank you to all the 2021 Cisco Designated VIPs for all their contributions this past year. Regardless of the VIP status, we appreciate all your contributions. Since you are the soul of the community, we are in your debt. This community continues to thrive thanks to your knowledge sharing.
