100: Google’s Customer-Focused Partner Advantage Program w/ Nina Harding

In the race to dominate the cloud computing era, Google Cloud is playing catchup to rival market leaders Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. The difference maker, says Google Cloud’s management, is partners that are innovating with the cloud company and on behalf of their customers to building better, value-add solutions that produce better outcomes and return on investment. The strategy is already paying dividends as Google Cloud is expanding rapidly and picking up market share with the help of partners. Nina Harding, Google’s global chief of partner strategy and programs, joins Pod2112 to talk about how Google’s legacy of innovation is helping to make solution providers “imagineers” that devise new ideas, craft new solutions, and create new services in and around the Google Cloud.
