About Michael Lock

I am a passionate advocate for the use of technology in the Business Cloud with a proven track record of building B2B SaaS companies. I was selling and marketing the cloud when Microsoft, IBM and SAP were making fun of it-)I helped start Google Cloud and with the assistance of great partners and an outstanding team, we built that business from its infancy to over $1B. Google Cloud was at that time the 3rd largest B2B SaaS player behind only Salesforce and Amazon Web Services. The business consisted of four distinct and fast-growing business: Google Apps, Google Maps for Business. Google Cloud Platform and the Google Search Appliance.I have broad and deep experience in sales, marketing, business development, and operations. I have run large operations ( 500+ people) and run small startups with less than 50 people.I have delivered hundreds of industry presentations and speeches, keynoted at the Gartner Symposium and spoke numerous times at Dreamforce. I have spoken and written extensively on the topic of the business cloud and I like to think I had something to do with companies adopting the public cloud.I can be found as can follow me on Twitter @michaelhlock
