Migliorini comes into the role with more than 25 years experience across Asia, Europe and US, and was also previously the managing director of AWS Australia. Other leadership roles include working for BT, IWG and Ernst & Young.
“AI isn’t just changing the technology sector, it’s changing the world, and I’m excited to join Google Cloud at such a pivotal time,” Migliorini said.
