About

As a Public Sector Account Executive at Google I help government organizations leverage the power of data and cloud technologies to innovate faster, make smarter decisions, and collaborate from anywhere. I have over 2 decades of experience in providing strategic advice and best practices to (public sector) leaders across various functions and domains. My mission is to enable public sector organizations to achieve their goals and deliver value to their citizens and internal stakeholders by offering them the best sovereign infrastructure, government platforms, industry solutions, and expertise from Google Cloud. I work with my clients by understanding their challenges, needs, opportunities, to design and implement solutions that address them. Some of the areas I focus on are culture change, productivity and collaboration, data and analytics, AI and machine learning, and industry-specific solutions. I also help them optimize their cloud spend, security, and sustainability.
