TIM LAKE
Marketing, B.S. | Regional Manager, Cisco
Systems | Phoenix
Volunteering: I started in college with Students
Consulting for Nonprofit Organizations. Students and
professionals have these unique skills that help nonprofits
succeed. Being a tenacious businessperson is not mutually
exclusive with building the community and improving where
you live.
Recruiting from the UA: Eller has been one of Cisco’s
most successful suppliers of business talent in the country.
Eller students are known in the company as being creative,
energetic and talented.
Wanderlust: I took my first international trips with Eller
to Hong Kong and China and have traveled ever since.
Madrid is my favorite place to visit; it feels like the Phoenix
of Europe.
Why Eller alumni stay engaged: People like me who
had great college experiences and launched great careers
after graduating want to give back. It’s that “pay it forward”
mentality.
