I joined Google in 2020 and led the organization responsible for all technical platforms supporting operations, customer engagement and partnerships for Google consumer products. It was the opportunity of a lifetime, and I feel very good about what the team has accomplished and the collective learning and impact.
As that cycle closes in 2023, I look forward to a new beginning in 2024.
Though many interesting challenges remain at Google, its biggest existential challenge is an organizational and cultural re-invention in the next couple of years. Still exploring how I can contribute, but I am also contemplating a post-Google future for me.
What I do next is as much result of the opportunities that emerge as it is what I deliberate introspectively. Life is not what we do, but the people we touch along the way.
What am I looking for?
I would like to leverage my understanding of the technology adoption and value expression cycle and experience developing culture, products, business. Besides direct value creation, a main source of motivation for me these days is enabling and inspiring a new generation of leaders, thinkers, innovators.
Wherever I land, I want to be in a place where I can interact with smart people in a collaborative and transparent environment, doing something that makes the world better for all.
If I end up leaving Google, a likely goal is to find a niche in the entrepreneurial ecosystem here in Silicon Valley. I’ve been a coach, thought-leader, investor, entrepreneur.
I am open to any opportunity that allows me to explore my abilities productively. Networking, Telecom, Social Media, Data Center, Customer Engagement, Data Operations, Operating Systems, Web Applications, Hardware are some of my previous areas of expertise.
