CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced that Ayman Sayed has
been named Chief Product Officer, effective August 10, 2015. Sayed
will be based in Santa Clara, Calif., and report directly to Chief

“Ayman is an accomplished technology executive with a big vision

direction and excellence, Ayman will help CA build a differentiated
product portfolio meant to help CA’s customers solve their most
difficult business problems in the Application Economy. I am

Sayed served as Senior Vice President of the Network Operating
Systems Technology Group at Cisco, where he oversaw 2,500 engineers
and led the development of the network operating software on which
nearly every Cisco networking product runs. He helped Cisco pioneer
the programmable networks arena and drove innovation broadly across
networking software, which enabled the evolution of the intelligent
network to support application awareness and the Internet of
Things. He also led a Cisco wide engineering transformation to
Agile software development methodology.
Sayed joined Cisco in 1999 and held leadership roles across
several businesses including Core Routing, Edge Routing, Enterprise
Access Switching, and most recently Mobility Virtualization. He
drove multi-billion dollar business growth through product
innovation and new product introductions. While in charge of the
Core Routing Business Unit Engineering team, he led the software
development for the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS-1), a
platform that introduced several industry firsts in terms of scale
and availability. He also served as the Vice President of
Engineering for the Unified Access Business Unit. In that role, he
led the engineering teams for the Cisco Catalyst access switching
platforms.
Sayed has more than 25 years of experience in managing
high-performance software organizations. Before joining Cisco, he
was Director of Engineering at Plaintree Systems, where he led the
development and engineering teams that created their Ethernet
switching product line.
Sayed holds a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical
engineering from Cairo University.
“I am very excited to be joining CA with its rich history and
strong tradition of software excellence," Sayed said. "I intend to
partner with CA's superb engineers to drive innovation and deliver
great, industry-leading solutions for business transformation in
the application economy.”
