- Google Cloud director Jerry Dischler told staff on Monday that he planned to leave the business.
- Dischler directed cloud applications at Google.
- Dischler previously directed the powerful Google ad company and spent almost 20 years in the company.
Jerry Dischler, a Google veteran who has spent several years leading the company’s crucial advertising company, plans to leave Google.
Dischler, which has been at Google for almost 20 years, announced its departure in a service note on Monday, which was seen by Business Insider. A Google spokesperson confirmed the departure.
Dischler was recently president of cloud applications, supervising the product of the Google work office software and incorporating AI tools into customer companies. He joined Google in 2005 and worked on technology that ultimately became Google Pay. Later, he managed Google’s announcements.
“The most difficult aspect of my decision was to move away from the incredible opportunity that we have before us,” he wrote in email, adding that he did it with “immense confidence” in the teams.
The release of Dischler marks another notable departure for teams working on Google Workspace, an essential product for Google in a generative AI that competes with Microsoft productivity tools.
Aparna Pappu, former vice-president and general manager of Google Workspace, announced at the end of last year that she would resign and put the reins to Dischler.
In his starting note, Dischler wrote that Senior Managers On Workspace will come under the CEO of Google Cloud, Thomas Kurian, from May 9, until a new leader is appointed.
Dischler wrote that it was time for him “to explore something new”, although he did not say if he was leaving for a new opportunity.
