Celebrating My 1-Year Anniversary at Google! πŸŽ‰πŸš€

πŸŽ‰ Today marks my 1-year anniversary at Google! πŸš€

What keeps me so excited every day at Google Cloud Security? It’s the opportunity to do something truly meaningful: driving our mission to make the internet a safer and more secure place πŸ”’

Reflecting on the Past 365 Days

Looking back on my first year at Google, I am incredibly grateful for so many things, and especially:

  • The People: I’m surrounded by brilliant, talented individuals who challenge me to learn and grow daily within Google. Just a few legends to name: Chris Martin, Rishalin Pillay, Mohamed Fawzi, John Stone, Or Brokman, Peter Solagna, and Sanne Maasakkers πŸ™Œ (And a special shout-out to my Security Sales heroes Alex Lancee and Sophie van der Werf!)
  • The Culture: We have an exceptional leadership team that provides the trust and freedom to think and work like an entrepreneurβ€”and doing it the Google way!
  • The Tech: It’s easy to keep going and stay inspired when you’re working with cutting-edge solutions like Google SecOps, CodeMender, Wiz, and Google Threat Intelligence (the largest threat intel platform in the world…).

A Year of Impact and Exploration

From helping customers and partners and driving thought leadership by speaking about Cloud Security at countless events, to community building with our amazing Google Cloud User Group, it has been an amazing ride 🎒

To top it off, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting customers and working remotely from 16+ Google Cloud offices around the world! 🌍

πŸ“Έ Can you guess which Google office locations are in these photos? Here is a cheat sheet of places I’ve been this past year: Amsterdam, Malaga, Boston, New York, Dublin, Paris, Boulder, San Francisco, Brussels, Stockholm, London, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale.

A massive thank you to Patrice Puichaud Duval, David Grout, and Shira Kimchi for trusting and hiring me a year ago.

Here’s to the next year and everything yet to come! πŸ₯‚
