advice for a ccie

After years of hard study I have finally earned my CCIE R&S!
What do you suggest as the next objective?
I am a senior network engineer, I only have Cisco certifications (ccna, ccnp, ccip, ccda, ccdp, dcni); I would like either to earn a network certification of a different vendor, or to become certified in another sector.
I was looking at Red Hat certs and they seem to be very good, for sure in my job I have to be skilled with Unix also.
What is your advice? what are the hottest certifications for a senior network engineer? do you suggest to stick with network things?
Thanks for your advice

    I would say go for JNCIE or branch off into security/DC/SP of Cisco.

    Congratulations :)

    News like these make me even more motivated. for further studies why not go for a Juniper cert? That could make you a complete all round network engineer. I myself plan to go to Cisco, Juniper and Red hat certs.

    anyway lots of possibilities, just look into something you might enjoy

    For security, what do you think about penetration testing certs and ceh/cisa/cissp? are those really useful? do they give practical expertise?
