Thomas Kurian new Google Cloud CEO
This is weird. Oracle has 4th or 5th market position in the cloud space. When Kurian, who was defacto head of product at Oracle , he could not improve its market position. He is now hired as CEO of Google Cloud. Why did Pichai hire him? Did he feel that Kurian didn't get enough support at Oracle to revamp the business model? https://www.cnbc.com/2018/11/16/google-cloud-ceo-greene-being-replaced-by-former-oracle-exec-kurian.html
Did not expect Thomas Kurian to be this dark... If I had to bet, I would have put all on white guy. He could still be white, a very swarthy white, swearing sweater draped around his shoulder and wearing loafers and shorts.
Obsessed with race much?
Seriously?!! This guy has a reputation of epitomizing "boss with bad temper" and Pichai hires him. Wow!
Because Curry is in his name
Interesting to know how google interview process happens for this level and how much drama is involved
Google is not an enterprise sales company, they think they have the product/services and it is probably a selling motion change, expect armies of ex-oracle sales guys at google, culture of building services for enterprises.. etc.. let’s see where this goes
It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Oracle's OCI team come a pretty long waypretty fast considering they didn't know what cloud was 2 years ago. Kurian gets credit for that. That gets counterbalance though by him not able or willing to decouple OCI from Oracle's old school sales approach stifling faster adoption.
OCI has yet to sell much at all. Kurian has a decade of failing to produce anything that people were willing to pay money for. The only credit he deserves is maybe a participation trophy.
Pichai is on his way out .. wait and watch
Are you saying that Oracle uses AWS and Azure so why would they hire him?
No, OP meant trailing in ranking, not using...
Ya my bad. Wrong grammatical usage of the word "behind".
