Indian American Abdul Razack Named Vice President Technology at Google Cloud

Abdul Razack, a former SAP chief product officer, has been named vice president of technology solutions at Google Cloud, one of the fastest-growing lines of revenue within Alphabet, the parent company. Prior to joining Google, Razack worked as the chief product officer at SAP.

Technology news website CRN reports that in the newly created role, Razack will be responsible for “Google Cloud’s solution strategy across its seven solution pillars, from infrastructure, to application modernization, to data analytics and cloud artificial intelligence (AI).” He also will drive the application of the solutions among sellers and customer engineers helping customers digitally transform.

The Mysore, India-born Razack will be based out of Google’s office in Sunnyvale, California, and will report to Hamidou Dia, Google Cloud’s vice president and global head of solutions engineering.

“My goal is to help Google Cloud customers unlock significant value from our solutions, bringing resiliency and scale to businesses in these uncertain times, and also helping them build a technology foundation for their future,” Razack said in a statement.

Last November, Thomas Kurian, a veteran product development executive at Oracle Corp. was named the new CEO of Google Cloud.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Razack has more than 25 years of experience in enterprise technology. A 15-year SAP veteran, Razack had a brief stint with Infosys, where he was head of platforms, focusing on big data and automation, and AI. He rejoined SAP in March 2019 as its chief product officer, leading its cloud technology vision and efforts to build enterprise resource planning products.

Before he left SAP for Infosys, Razack served in various capacities at the software corporation, including head of customer development and strategic projects and executive director to the head of technology and innovation.
