Not only do they operate as an extension of our team, working tirelessly to deliver the best solutions and experiences for customers; they also show up as champions of our technology, collaborating with us to make sure we’re as great as we can be.
And we understand that our partners aren’t just businesses. They’re people – specific individuals who go out of their way to keep learning, discovering, and helping customers achieve more than they knew was possible. That’s why we’re delighted to introduce the Google Cloud Partners All-stars Program.
About the program
Google Cloud Partner All-stars is a new annual program that recognizes and celebrates remarkable people within our partner organizations. From December 5 - 9 of this year, we’re honoring
individuals in marketing, solutions engineering & delivery, and sales for their exceptional achievements. Recipients will receive an email notifying them of their recognition, which will provide them with a detailed summary as to why they were chosen. Individuals have been nominated and selected by Google Cloud partner leadership and local partner account teams.
