Thomas Kurian
Drawing on 22 years at Oracle, Kurian applied a disciplined enterprise-sales model that fueled 37% annualized growth and expanded Google Cloud’s operating margins by 6,600 basis points since 2019.
Sources cite an autocratic leadership style characterized by tight control and weak team cohesion, contributing to senior turnover and lower morale.
Despite concerns over his ability to delegate, Kurian’s sharp product judgment and operational rigor position him as the right leader to scale Google Cloud.
