6 Quarters, 6 Wins: Soaring with Google Cloud (and a Few Lessons Learned) ✈️ The feeling of accomplishment is truly exhilarating, much like soaring through the air on a para glider (as you can see in the picture!). I'm thrilled to announce that I have smashed consecutive Google Cloud quotas for the 6th quarter in a row! This achievement wouldn't be possible without a few key lessons I've picked up in my almost 10 years in sales and marketing, and 1.5 years with Google Cloud: Vision & Creativity: In today's competitive landscape, bold ideas are essential. Don't be afraid to break the mold and embrace continuous learning. Calculated Courage: Take calculated risks! Stepping outside your comfort zone is where breakthroughs happen. The Power of Persistence: Keep pushing, even when you can't see the finish line. Every step counts, and it all adds up to future success. Embrace the Challenge: Have the courage to stand your ground and tackle tough challenges. Believe in yourself and your decisions. Learn from Setbacks: Disappointment and failures are inevitable, but they are also your greatest teachers. Accept setbacks as learning opportunities and move forward. Gratitude is Key: Remember what matters most - your loved ones. They're your support system through thick and thin. A huge shout out to my amazing team lead Rakesh Luthra my team, mentors, and colleagues! This journey is all about continuous learning and growth. Here's to an even brighter future! Let's see what Q3 has in store! #GoogleCloud #SalesMotivation #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #SuccessMindset #GoalCrusher #NeverStopLearning #GrowthMindset #SalesLife #MarketingCloud #CloudSelling #B2BSales #AccountManagement #GoogleCloudPlatform #GCP #CloudTechnology

My 5 year 'Googleversary' today! I've loved every minute.  5 things I am *deeply* grateful for: 1. The rare opportunity to be in the engine room of this rocket ship as it grew from $9B+ run rate business to $45B+ in only 5 years.  There is no playbook for growth at this scale; we get to write it as we go. 2. The joy of watching thousands of customers thrive on Google Cloud. It is impressive and humbling to see so many IT leaders and their teams transform their organizations including through the pandemic.     3. The privilege of working closely with some of the most innovative and humble leaders and colleagues who are true pioneers in cloud infrastructure (Googlers and our partners). 4. The honor of working with some of the most respected industry analysts and earning their endorsement.  The work they do has never been more important with today's pace of change. 5. The good fortune of working at a storied workplace that competes vigorously but never compromises on its values - Respect the user, Respect the opportunity, and Respect each other.   

This is what happens when technology, in tandem with Microsoft AVD and Azure services, delivers quantifiable value to our customers!

In my 4th quarter as a BDR at Google Cloud, I hit an incredible milestone - $5 million in revenue. Though at times I thought this is due to luck, as time went by I understood This wasn't just a stroke of luck but the result of relentless hard work and finding the right balance between personalization and efficiency. During my time at Google Cloud and this last year at Rods&Cones, I realized that while hard work is non-negotiable, working smartly is equally important. Here's how I found the right balance: - Hard work pays off: There's no substitute for putting in the effort. Consistently hitting my targets, sometimes even exceeding 200%, wasn't just luck - it was the result of relentless hustle, continuous learning, and resilience. - The sweet spot: Personalizing every message can be time-consuming, but generic messages often get ignored. The key is to find a balance, and keep trying. - Utilize powerful tools such as Apollo.io and automation for repetitive tasks. This saves time and ensures you can focus more on crafting quality messages. Next week, we'll dive into strategies for truly understanding your audience's pain points. Until then, keep climbing and pushing those boundaries! 🧗♂️ Thanks for my good friend Ofer Blutrich for this video 🙏

The Toughest Goodbye – Reflecting on Almost Six Incredible Years at Google Cloud The decision to leave Google is one of the toughest I’ve ever made. Working at Google has truly been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and tremendous honor. Over nearly six years, I’ve learned an incredible amount, had so much fun, and witnessed remarkable growth in the business. Helping grow Google Cloud from $7.3B to over $41B in annualized revenue and contributing to the creation of the world’s fourth-largest enterprise software company, has been a career-defining privilege. As I close this chapter, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to the people who made these years truly unforgettable. From the very start, I’ve had the honor of working alongside some of the brightest, most passionate, very humble and innovative individuals. Together, we’ve tackled challenges, celebrated victories, and pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. I’m proud of everything we’ve achieved as a team, and I’ll carry forward the invaluable lessons and lasting relationships from this journey. A huge thank you to Sundar Pichai and Thomas Kurian, my team, colleagues, mentors, and friends at Google for your constant support, encouragement, and inspiration. You’ve shaped not only my professional journey but my personal growth as well, in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Lots of gratitude to customers and partners who trusted me and gave Google Cloud a chance to solve their technology requirements.  Among the many positives, one stands out above all: the opportunity to learn from my mentor and friend, Thomas Kurian. Over the span of more than 25 years—between Oracle and Google—I’ve had the privilege of reporting to Thomas. I’ve seen many leaders in action, but none quite like him. His consistent ability to understand markets, delve into any subject matter, distill complex information into actionable decisions, and relentlessly pursue positive outcomes with a customer-centric focus has been a masterclass in leadership. The toughest part of leaving Google Cloud is stepping away from the opportunity to work with and learn from Thomas on a daily basis. While this goodbye is bittersweet, I’m excited about the new adventures and opportunities ahead. I look forward to staying in touch, collaborating in the future, and continuing to learn from this incredible community. Go Google Cloud!! Here’s to the next chapter! 🙏 🚀
