Jayshree UllalJohn ChambersMerry Christmas because as of December 19th, mohawk pompadoured Cisco CEO John Chambers earned -$69 million less than Arista CEO Jayshree Ullal after the Arista IPO on June 6th, at least according to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings (page 123 for Arista and page 34 for Cisco).
 

Personally, I was totally flabbergasted at how in a mere 6-months the CEO of tiny Arista could outearn by a staggering +$69 million the head-of-state hobnobbing and mohawk pompadouring Cisco CEO.

Luckily Cisco's General Counsel Mark Chandler told us how:

Charlie GiancarloNevertheless, perhaps former Cisco Chief Development Officer Charlie Giancarlo explains it best:

"At Arista we invented a new operating system and basically re-invented the switching market to become more software and merchant-silicon driven. We wouldn't want to copy Cisco's OS — our customers wanted a new architecture for how switches and computer networks are orchestrated and Cisco's 30 year old code and architectures are of no interest to us or our customers."
 

Hopefully, the mohawk pompadoured Chambers will be able to get his "handler," Debbie Gross, to explain what Charlie meant.
