Google Cloud has made a strategic move in bolstering cybersecurity across the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa (META) region with the appointment of Noor Al-Sulaiti as the new Head of Security Business Development and Government Relations. Al-Sulaiti, a telecommunications and technology veteran, previously served as the CEO of Ooredoo Oman, where she led a successful digital transformation.
In her new role, Al-Sulaiti will focus on expanding Google Cloud’s security offerings and forging partnerships with governments in the META region. She expressed her excitement about joining Google Cloud, a company she has long admired for its innovative approach to empowering governments with advanced security capabilities.
Google Cloud’s emphasis on cybersecurity solutions is evident in its government-specific offering, Cybershield, which promotes collaboration to combat cybersecurity threats collectively. Al-Sulaiti’s extensive experience in the telecommunications industry, including leadership roles at Starlink in Qatar and managerial positions in Kuwait, has earned her recognition as one of the region’s most influential businesswomen.
Her appointment underscores Google Cloud’s commitment to working closely with governments to enhance security measures and protect critical assets. With Al-Sulaiti at the helm, Google Cloud is poised to make significant strides in fortifying the cybersecurity landscape across the META region.
