Google Cloud said it has appointed Karan Bajwa, India business head as the new leader for the Asia pacific (APAC) region. Bajwa succeeds Rick Harshman who will leave the organization in pursuit of a new opportunity. Bajwa will be based in Singapore.
Bajwa will lead all regional revenue and go-to-market operations for Google Cloud, including on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google Workspace from Tuesday, the company said.
Bajwa will continue to lead the India business until a new leader is appointed, and will report to Rob Enslin, President of Sales, Google Cloud.
Commenting on the development, Rob Enslin, President of Sales, Google Cloud, said, “Since Karan joined us in March 2020, Google Cloud in India has grown from strength to strength. He’s advanced the digital transformation journeys of many large Indian organizations across industries and successfully expanded our partner community. He brings tremendous management and sales experience with him to this regional role, and we’re thrilled to have him at the helm of our APAC business.”
“With the disruptions of 2020 behind us, a true test of 2021 will be how companies re-platform and build on the cloud not only for resilience but agility and innovation, and I’m excited for the opportunity to lead Google Cloud’s business in APAC to maximize this next phase of growth,” said Bajwa.
