The hire of Thomas Kurian was clearly a political move of Sundar. This combined with some re-orgs makes most profitable orgs of Google (Ads&GPI, Search, Cloud) run by Sundar's buddies. I know DG is generally useless, but this is just no way a suitable hire. Here's a former Oracle Svp's comment of Thomas Kurian https://www.quora.com/Have-you-worked-for-Thomas-Kurian-at-Oracle-He-is-the-new-CEO-of-Google-Cloud-What-is-he-like/answer/Cameron-Purdy, which aligns with what Oracle folks are saying on blind. I mean this guy's svp level report is willing to post against him with real name, you don't really need background check to know his reputation. The only reason I can see is to strengthen Sundar's position. Is Larry going to put up with this kind of politicizing?
You must be a non Indian.
This sadly is a true fact.
GCP is not doing well and it sure won't get any better!
Feel so sad about Google...
Google is the new Microsoft
May be he worked with shitty engineers and shitty pricing at Oracle. Let’s give him a year or two before we judge him shall we?
Yahoo tried that with Marissa Mayer, how did that turn out? It for sure is good news for AWS and Azure.
So the CEO hired Thomas JUST because they are both Indian and board of directors didn't say anything and agreed with Sundar? Were you there when this happened or you just hate Indians?
what can they say? now more than half of google' vps are sundar's indian buddies. they have controlled the whole company.
Subtle Racism. The dude who wrote the quora answer could be just pissed off that his start up is not working while everyone is moving on. I checked his company's home page, it's apparently in stealth mode since 2015. Google is really awesome at tech and better than other cloud providers in terms of features and cost, but what they don't have is a really good sales and support organization. This hire just reflects that. Oracle however cringeworthy it is in terms of tech, every enterprise company uses them and there's a reason. Sales and Support. This guy could help get that to Google cloud. Just because you don't get this, doesn't mean the CEO is biased lol
^ LOL
The results will speaks of themselves.. :)
*speak for ; )
Sundar should be on his way out.
Unfortunately he may remove Larry and Sergey from board and replace them with his other Indian buddies some day. We're easily fooled by them until they gain power amd turn their face.
Are you nuts? Larry and Sergey literally own the company through their super voting stock.
