Google cloud unit shuffles partnerships and sales groups as CEO Kurian chases market share
Summary
Just over three years into his tenure as head of Googles cloud unit, Kurian, an ex-Oracle top executive, has made dramatic changes to the engineering group while aggressively expanding the sales operation. CNBC reported in September that Kurian was trying to streamline technical units in an attempt to gain market share more quickly. The unit has experienced a string of high-level departures, including the head of developer relations and the leader of engineering and of some key cloud products. Lindsey Scrase, who previously oversaw revenue for Google Cloud Platform and Workplace, will now report to Greg Tomb, who manages sales for Workspace as well as security. "This news brings some additional organizational changes we did not foresee when we last met at our January 13th All-Hands," Ichhpurani wrote, referring to the recent companywide meeting.
