How CEO Thomas Kurian Is Changing the Game at Google Cloud

On Thursday, our team of reporters and special guest Dan Ives delved into a hot topic of our recent coverage—Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian’s strategy for attracting more Fortune 500 customers and catching up with the leaders in the cloud market. 

The Information’s Kevin McLaughlin, Nick Wingfield and Nick Bastone discussed what differentiates Google Cloud from its top competitors; how Kurian’s strategy differs from that of his predecessor Diane Greene; the importance of applications to Google Cloud’s pitch to customers; and the current push to combine Google Cloud services with other Google products, such as Youtube and digital advertising services. Wedbush’s Dan Ives, meanwhile, explained why he thinks the next 12-18 months will be critical for the future success of Google Cloud.
