Urs Holzle, the Senior Vice President for Technical Infrastructure at Google, made an announcement today that he will be stepping back from his management role after 24 years. During his time at Google, Holzle has played a crucial role in leading technical teams and overseeing the development of Google Cloud Platform.
In this transition, Holzle will now be classified as an “individual contributor,” meaning he will be taking on technical assignments independently instead of managing employees. In an email to Google employees, Holzle expressed his excitement about focusing on technical work and advising others. He plans to contribute to the articulation of technical AI processes, facilitate discussions, and encourage faster decision-making.
This change comes amidst a shakeup in Google’s cloud organization. Chris Vonderhaar will be leading Cloud Supply Chain and Operations, while Ben Treynor Sloss, Vice President of Engineering at Google Cloud, will report directly to CEO Thomas Kurian.
As Google continues to compete with Amazon and Microsoft in the cloud and artificial intelligence space, Holzle’s shift demonstrates the company’s commitment to technical innovation and decision-making.
This move also coincides with Google’s efforts to bring employees back to physical offices, as Holzle sparked controversy by announcing his move to New Zealand while the company advocated for limiting remote work.
Overall, Holzle’s transition marks a new chapter in his storied career at Google, where he will have the opportunity to make a significant impact through his technical expertise and advice.
