Six months into building a dedicated data governance practice inside Google Cloud, the results speak for themselves. What started as a vision in 2023 has rapidly become a global engine for impact… driving significant Dataplex-based revenue, expanding into three regions, and earning the trust of 19 major enterprises across healthcare, finance, retail, and technology.

From launching Dataplex globally to leading Data & AI Governance engagements with Fortune 50 companies, these years have been defined by building resilient systems, driving responsible innovation, and forging partnerships that solve complex data challenges. Along the way I’ve worked under 12 managers, sat in 5 offices, visited 18 more, and helped shape the future of cloud governance across U.S. industries.

Today we are excited to announce the general availability of Dataplex, an intelligent data fabric that enables you to centrally manage, monitor, and govern data across data lakes, data warehouses, and data marts, and make this data securely accessible to a variety of analytics and data science tools.
