About the author

Carl Wiese is a business writer and executive known for co-authoring The Collaboration Imperative: Executive Strategies for Unlocking Your Organization’s True Potential with Ron Ricci. Cisco materials describe the book as written by two Cisco executives and focused on how organizations can build stronger cultures, processes, and technology for collaboration.

Public profiles also show a career rooted in leadership and business strategy. Cisco identified him as a senior vice president in its collaboration business, and later profiles described senior roles at BlackBerry and Poly. A University of San Diego biography for a different Carl Wiese refers to a finance lecturer and investment professional, so that profile appears to belong to someone else and is not included here.

For readers, what stands out is the practical angle of his writing. Rather than approaching collaboration as a buzzword, his published work presents it as something leaders can shape through everyday decisions, clear communication, and the right organizational habits.
