Google’s cloud computing unit on Thursday made sweeping changes to its leadership, including replacing its top U.S. sales executive and one of her lieutenants, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

The changes, announced to employees, include the departure of Kirsten Kliphouse, the top U.S. sales executive. She is being replaced by Adaire Fox-Martin, previously the president of Google Cloud International and the head of Google’s Ireland office. Fox-Martin, who joined from SAP in 2021, will now be the organization’s top global salesperson.
