Cisco's Benjamin, Head of Fledgling Consumer Business, Leaves After 1 Year By Scott Lanman Cisco's Benjamin, Head of Consumer Business, Leaves Company San Jose, California, Nov. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Cisco Systems Inc., the world's No. 1 maker of Internet equipment, said Robba Benjamin, head of the company's fledgling consumer line of products, left the company to pursue other interests. Cisco spokeswoman Elizabeth Cardinale couldn't immediately elaborate on Benjamin's reason for leaving. Benjamin joined Cisco in Aug. 1998 as vice president and general manager of the consumer business. The company, which dominates the market for expensive corporate-network equipment, is aiming to sell more lower-cost consumer gear such as cable modems. Benjamin previously worked for Sprint Corp. and local phone company U S West Inc.'s Yellow Pages publishing unit. Shares of San Jose, California-based Cisco rose 1/16 to 72 15/16 in late trading. quote.bloomberg.com
