About Karen Pattani

I’m a strategic partnerships specialist who loves connecting people and ideas for lucrative results. I’m always looking for the natural fit between cutting edge tech and companies who are ready to use it to transform their business. I have experience building and launching new programs, and a personal passion for leading teams to be their best.At Google Cloud, I ensure our partners are enabled and ready to seize the opportunity to help our customers. I manage relationships, customer requirements, training, investments, escalations and drama in the business we do with partners to ensure everyone wins. My extended team includes partner engineers, solution consultants, Marketing, PSO, technical advisors, SMEs and GenerativeAI blackbelts to deliver on the promise of transformation, made possible by Google Cloud. I currently lead the partnership between Accenture and Google Cloud for the Eastern Region and Retail / CPG. Prior to Accenture, I led Google Cloud’s partnerships with Cognizant, PWC, Publicis Sapient, and Capgemini.Partnerships have always been a passion of mine. In every role - including 10 years in the music business - I’ve had to see beyond the mundane to find the revelation - the big idea that moves markets. My work as VP A&R at BMG/Sony Music, and Head of Digital Business Development at Island Def Jam / Universal Music Group prepared me well to lead business development at MediaVision and partnerships for market-defining martech startups such as Airship and Lytics. I enjoy learning what drives stellar performance - and working to replicate that success. I enjoy seeing a diverse workforce make real impact as we bring diversity of opinion and experience to our products and services. I enjoy helping others find their way to their passions - through partnership!
