Earlier today, I blogged that Cisco vice president and former Airespace executive, Alan Cohen, has left Cisco for network hypervisor vendor, Nicira.

Now I've confirmed that the senior vice president of Cisco's much ballyhooed Borderless Networks Marketecture (i.e. Marketing Architecture), former Airespace CEO - Brett Galloway, has taken a long-term leave of absence (LOA) from Cisco.

Additionally, it appears the co-leaders of Cisco's Engineering organization, Pankaj Patel and Padmasree Warrior, have taken over Galloway's job responsibilities!

Galloway's take on the benefits of using Cisco's Borderless Networks:

More confirmed Cisco executive departures:

1. CONFIRMED:   Bill Brownell - Cisco's senior vice president of Enterprise Marketing is retiring and because Cisco made its FY11 bonus distribution about 2 to 3 weeks ago, a lot of Cisco employees are leaving, including some Cisco executives.
2. CONFIRMED:   Stephanie Carullo - Cisco's vice president of sales has joined Apple, view her profile on LinkedIn...
