5. Will Grannis, Google Cloud

Google Cloud now holds the U.S. Department of Defense’s Impact Level 4 authorization for Google Workspace.

Will Grannis is CEO of Google Public Sector and made waves for emphasizing how big of a milestone this is for Google Cloud. 

“This means all customers can be confident they are collaborating securely, without having to deploy a separate government cloud limited in its capacity to support customer needs at scale,” he wrote. “It also means that customers in highly regulated agencies and industries can operate seamlessly without having to incur additional cost and implementation complexity,” Grannis said.
