Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian will use some Oracle strategies to help Google Cloud catch up to Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure.
Kurian spent over two decades at Oracle before joining Google in late 2018.Right now, Google is widely considered to be lagging far behind Amazon and Microsoft when it comes to the cloud. But new Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian plans to change all that with some strategies he learned from the two decades-plus he spent at Oracle.
"There are certain things that you learn having dealt with enterprise customers for 22 years," Kurian told the Journal. Although this may be a high bar to reach, Kurian told the Journal that Oracle has added as many as 4,000 employees to its sales team in one year, showing that it's possible. However, some customers told the Journal that they hope Kurian will not bring Oracle's hardball sales tactics to Google Cloud along with these tactics.
