Description

Ann Wallace and Michael Wallman are here today to teach Aja and Mark about Professional Services Organization (PSO) at Google Cloud. PSO is the "post sales" department, helping clients come up with solutions for security, data migration, AI, ML, and more. Listen in to this episode to learn more about the specifics of the PSO! Ann Wallace Ann Wallace is the Global Security Practice Lead for Google PSO. She has spent the last 6 months building out the security practice. Ann is passionate about inclusion in tech. She is the West regional lead for Google Cloud EDII and a volunteer with Women Who Code Portland. Before Google Ann spent 14 years at Nike in various engineering and architecture roles. CloudNOW named her one of the top 10 Women in Cloud in 2015. When not working, Ann can be found ultra-trail running around the world. Michael Wallman Michael Wallman is a TPM, working on Cloud Migration for internal Alphabet companies and acquisitions. He also serves as the America's infrastructure practice lead. He is in his 3rd year at Google. Prior to Google, Michael is Cloud "OG", and spent almost 5 years growing the AWS Professional Services organization from 5 to 700+.

Outside of work Michael spends his time chasing his 2 toddlers and mountain lions around the Berkeley Hills. Ann and Michael actually met 5 years ago, working on Nike's first cloud migration project.
