Elizabeth di Rocco
Program manager
Elizabeth studied Physics at the University of Ljubljana after moving to Slovenia from her birth town in Mendoza, Argentina. During her time at university, she was a part-time software developer. She joined the IT industry fully in 2005 as a Cisco intern.
During her 10 years at Cisco, she focused on Wireless technologies and took on different job roles becoming an expert at European level. She has worked with companies from all segments and verticals throughout Europe. After Cisco, she ran a 5000 AP network for a manufacturing company as a Wireless Network Planner.
Her career took her to the UK and VMware. As an NSX Systems Engineer, she became an expert on network virtualization and micro-segmentation. One of her main tasks as an NSX SE was to educate customers on these new technologies. Teaching customers with disparate backgrounds became one of her favorite parts of the role. She mastered whiteboarding, which is now her preferred tool to explain complex concepts.
An engineer and educator at heart, she has tried her hand as a Cisco instructor, mentor, and conference speaker. She likes to present, answer questions, and debate. But most of all, she likes to see the spark in people’s eyes when they understand new concepts or ideas.
Elizabeth joined NIL in 2024 as a Program Manager for the NIL Learning team. In this role, she is focused on making sure we are always delivering the right products, following technology development, and keeping up with the IT industry’s educational needs.
