Google Cloud chief moves to ServiceNow as COO

In an earnings call with analysts on Wednesday afternoon, ServiceNow CEO Bill McDermott championed Zavery’s hiring.

“During his tenure, he helped build Google Cloud into the fourth-largest enterprise software company by increasing annualized revenue from $7 billion to over $41 billion. Before joining Google Cloud, Amit had a distinguished career at Oracle, where he presided over their growth and Platform as a Service and data analytics,” McDermott said. “With sterling educational and career credentials, Amit is a world-class engineer and engineering leader. From a commercialization perspective, he’s also an expert in packaging and pricing.”

In his farewell LinkedIn post, Zavery said leaving Google was “the toughest goodbye,” but added, “I’m excited about the new adventures and opportunities ahead.”

One of his first adventures at ServiceNow will be figuring out how best to package and price the company’s new tools for creating AI agents, introduced in September in the Xanadu release of the company’s Now Platform for managing workflows.
