Diane Greene的任期到明年1月，Thomas Kurian將在11月26日加入谷歌Cloud云服務部門，留出一些時間來保證平穩過渡。在Diane Greene發布的離職信中，她表示未來將投入教育和慈善事業。
谷歌云近來已經有多位高管離職，說明Diane Greene或許早有預兆。雷鋒網此前報道，11月15日，Google Cloud AI研發主管兼Google AI中國中心總裁李佳確認離職，更早之前的9月10日，Google Cloud AI首席科學家李飛飛也已經離職。
要算到更早之前，谷歌云副總裁Bogomil Balkansky 8月份離職，一直以來他被視為谷歌云首席執行官Diane Greene的長期副手，在Bogomil Balkansky離職前的一個多月，谷歌云COO Diane Bryant也離職了，她去年12月起擔任Google Cloud首席運營官。
如此之多的高管密集離職，也引起了市場對于谷歌云的擔憂。據Synergy Research統計數據顯示，AWS占有34%的市場份額，微軟以15%的市場份額排在第二位，IBM第三名，谷歌排在第四名，市場份額是個位數。
在Diane Greene的三年任期內，谷歌云算是打出了自己的招牌。在Gartner的魔力象限報告和Forrester的Waves報告中，谷歌云都在領導者象限，谷歌云在衛生醫療、金融服務、零售、游戲和媒體、能源和生產以及交通等領域都有所建樹。Cloud ML和Cloud IoT團隊的成立確立了谷歌技術上的優勢，期間谷歌云還收購了Apigee、Kaggle、Qwiklabs和其他一些初創公司。
以下為Diane Greene離職信：
Hello All,
When I joined Google full-time to run Cloud in December 2015, I told my family and friends that it would be for two years. Now, after an unbelievably stimulating and productive three years, it's time to turn to the passions I've long had around mentoring and education.
The mentoring will include investing in and helping female founder CEOs who have engineering or science backgrounds. I want to encourage every woman engineer and scientist to think in terms of building their own company someday. The world will be a better place with more female founder CEOs.
The work in education will especially be initiatives that combine technology with in-person teaching to make high-quality education that is low-cost, scalable and personalized. When bebop was purchased by Google, I committed all of my proceeds to philanthropy, it is high time to put that money to work!
Thomas Kurian, a respected technologist and executive, will be joining Google Cloud on November 26th and transitioning into the Google Cloud leadership role in early 2019. Sundar, Urs and I all interviewed Thomas, and I believe that he'll do an amazing job helping to take Google Cloud to the next level.Thomas has 22 years of experience at Oracle; most recently he was President of Product Development.
I will continue as CEO through January, working with Thomas to ensure a smooth transition. I will remain a Director on the Alphabet board.
The Google Cloud team has accomplished amazing things over the last three years, and I'm proud to have been a part of this transformative work. We have moved Google Cloud from having only two significant customers and a collection of startups to having major Fortune 1000 enterprises betting their future on Google Cloud, something we should accept as a great compliment as well as a huge responsibility.
We've built a strong business together—set up by integrating sales, marketing, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Google Apps/G Suite into what is now called Google Cloud.
We established a training and professional services organization and partnering organizations. We revamped customer engineering and added a team of experts in the Office of the CTO. We also pioneered a way to help enterprises adopt AI through our Advanced Solutions Lab. We built out a full marketing organization that in just three years has received many recognitions including Cannes Lions awards. We set up our industry verticals org where we have achieved massive traction in health, financial services, retail, gaming and media, energy and manufacturing, and transportation. We set up the Cloud ML and the Cloud IoT groups. We acquired Apigee, Kaggle, qwiklabs and several great small startups. Our technology development has been recognized throughout the industry, and Google Cloud is differentiated in security, AI, open hybrid application modernization, G Suite, and many other areas. We are now recognized as a leader in 11 Gartner Magic Quadrants and Forrester Waves.
But here's what I'm most proud of: the phenomenal team assembled and how we together have built out all of our functions for customer-facing enterprise readiness and engineering enterprise execution. When this journey started, some people would say that Google had great technology but they weren't sure that customers would rely on Google as their enterprise partner. At our recent Google Cloud Next event in San Francisco, we had over 23,000 attendees, representing 10x growth from 2016. With nearly 300 customers speaking about how Google Cloud is helping to transform their businesses, no one was questioning our seriousness or our abilities.
The cloud space is early and there is an enormous opportunity ahead. I have loved working with everyone. I am especially grateful to all of our customers, partners, and employees for an amazing three years of getting to work with you.
—Diane

大家好，
當我在2015年12月加入谷歌，全職負責Cloud云服務的時候，我對我的親朋好友說我會做兩年時間。到現在，我已在這里度過了緊張刺激和富有成效的三年時光。現在，我是時候去從事我很久以來就一直很想做的輔導和教育行業了。
輔導工作將包括投資和幫助具有工程或科學背景的女性創始人。我希望鼓勵每一個女性工程師和科學家考慮在將來某一天建立自己的公司。如果有更多女性創始人和CEO，這個世界將會變得更加美好。
教育方面的工作將主要是一些項目，也就是將技術與現場教學相結合，打造低成本的、可拓展的和個性化的高質量教育。當我的Bebop公司被谷歌收購的時候，我將所有收益都捐給了一個慈善基金。現在，我是時候讓那些資金發揮效力了！
托馬斯-庫里安是一個受人尊敬的科技專家和高管，他將會在11月26日加入谷歌Cloud云服務部門，并將會在2019年初擔任該部門CEO。桑達爾、烏爾斯和我一起面試了庫里安。我相信，他將會有出色表現，帶領谷歌Cloud云服務達到下一個新的高度。庫里安在甲骨文工作了22年，在最近，他還開始擔任產品開發總裁。從現在到明年1月，我將會繼續擔任這個部門CEO，與庫里安合作，保證公司平穩過渡。我將會繼續留在Alphabet董事會。
在過去三年中，谷歌Cloud云服務已取得了了不起的成就，我很驕傲參與了這個革命性的工作。在最開始，谷歌Cloud云服務的客戶只有兩個大企業和一些初創公司，現在有很多《財富》1000強企業均押寶谷歌云服務。對于我們來說，這是很高的贊譽，也是很大的責任。
我們一起打造了強大的業務，整合了銷售、營銷、谷歌云服務平臺和谷歌Apps/G Suite，并更名為谷歌Cloud。
我們建立了一個培訓和專業服務組織和合作關系組織。我們改造了消費者工程，增加了專家人才。我們還帶頭幫助企業采用我們的高級解決方案實驗室打造的AI技術。我們在短短三年內就打造了一個市場營銷組織，而且還獲得了很多認可，包括戛納國際創意獎。我們建立了行業垂直組織，并在衛生醫療、金融服務、零售、游戲和媒體、能源和生產以及交通方面產生了很大的吸引力。我們建造了Cloud ML和Cloud IoT團隊。我們收購了Apigee、Kaggle、Qwiklabs和其他一些初創公司。我們的技術開發在整個行業都得到了認可。谷歌Cloud云服務在安全、人工智能、開放混合云應用現代化、G Suite和其他領域都具有獨特的優勢。我們在市場研究公司Gartner的魔力象限報告和市場研究公司Forrester的Waves報告中均被認為是市場領導者。
但是，我真正感到驕傲的地方是：我們的整個團隊一起合作打造出了所有這些功能。在一開始，有人說谷歌有很了不起的技術，但是他們并不相信谷歌會成為他們的企業合作伙伴。最近在舊金山舉行的谷歌Cloud Next活動中，有超過2.3萬個人參加，這是2016年參會人數的10倍。我們現在有300個客戶在談論谷歌Cloud如何幫助變革了他們的業務。現在沒有人質疑我們的能力或態度。
云服務行業還處于早期階段，前面還有很大的發展機會。我很喜歡與每個人共事的經歷。我尤其感激我們的客戶、合作伙伴和員工，感謝與你們共事的這三年美好時光。
