I want to hear how GCP and OCI guys like him. He said GCP will increase faster than ever.
He is brought in for enterprise business and to win deals in enterprises business at gcp . Their technology is great , so now Thomas got thousands of sales people . If he can’t get gcp break into the enterprise market he wil probably join some other company soon
The problem is that at Oracle he wasn’t responsible for sales. MH and SM lead sales.
He was hated at Oracle. People at Oracle were almost shocked how he got the gcp gig given he didn’t do much with OCI
I think he knew that oci did not have the technical maturity needed to sell it . It was no where close to what aws, azure or gcp has hence wanted teams to gave flexibility to choose other cloud providers which resulted in disagreements with Larry
Wonder if Google execs under him kiss ass after being hurled with vulgar offensives.
And the shouting. Do not forget the shaming just for not being a Indian. Oh and being replaced with an Indian because you suck because you're white. I think TK has some issues.
^ Can confirm. Nothing like his brother.
I think he is a very "thoughtful" person because he has Stanford MBA , came from McKinsey, and once worked as a PM.
He was in way over his head at Oracle. He had no idea how to lead. Indecisive, uninspiring, with zero vision. Hopefully for Google he’ll be better at being a salesman than he was at leading a development org. Keep him the hell away from your dev teams, he’ll destroy them if put in charge.
I think that's the reason he's hiring the sales team and the development is being handled by GCP executives
Yup eng is in good hands
Run, it's bad news bears to be under tk
Haven't been here long...but what little he has said makes sense. Seems more focused on the sales and business side - less on the tech. Might be what is needed to win cloud, but as a side effect could lead to risk aversion and stifle innovation (erosion of Google's engineering centric culture).
I hope he will do a better job there...
Oracle would have been better off with him being IC4 or IC5. Oracle will keep getting screwed as long as they keep putting indian techies in higher management positions. Most of them dont even understand what management leadership and decision making is.
And non-Indian execs like Steve Miranda and Andy Mendelssohn have been awesome? Get over it; it has nothing to do with Indian/non-Indian. It’s about capability or the lack thereof.
But I thought skin color decided intelligence!? WHATTT
he will be fired in one year
How is GCP doing regardless of him?
Why so?
