Who actually makes buying decisions at Google?
Google buying decisions are highly specialized. Cloud, AI, security, data center, ads, Workspace, hardware, and corporate systems have separate committees, and large deals require privacy, security, legal, procurement, finance, and technical owner approval.
How is Google organized as it scales?
Google is organized across Google Services, Google Cloud, AI/DeepMind, platforms/devices, and corporate functions under Alphabet. Internal technical standards and centralized procurement make navigation complex.
