From the departure of Google Cloud's Kubernetes and serverless general manager to the hiring of Microsoft's former corporate vice president, Google Cloud's top executive lineup continues to shift.

The $41 billion Mountain View, Calif.-based cloud giant is battling against the largest tech companies in the world in acquiring top talent. Google Cloud, for example, was able to recently hire one of Amazon Web Services' AI and machine learning all-star executives.

However, several Google Cloud executives have exited the company to take top roles in competitors such as AI cloud provider CoreWeave.
