Google Cloud Names Stephanie Buscemi as Chief Marketing Officer

Google Cloud has appointed Stephanie Buscemi as its new Chief Marketing Officer, bringing an experienced enterprise technology marketing executive into the company’s senior leadership team. Buscemi joins Google Cloud from data streaming company Confluent, where she served as Chief Marketing Officer.

In her new role, Buscemi will lead marketing for Google Cloud, working alongside Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian and Google Chief Marketing Officer Lorraine Twohill. She succeeds Alison Wagonfeld, who moved to NVIDIA in February 2026.

Buscemi brings experience across enterprise software, cloud, data, analytics, and technology marketing. Before joining Confluent in 2021, she held senior marketing and product leadership positions at Salesforce. During her time there, she served as Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, as well as EVP of Product and Solutions Marketing and leadership roles within Analytics Cloud. Earlier in her career, she held marketing positions at IHS Markit, SAP, and Hyperion.

Her appointment comes as Google Cloud continues to place artificial intelligence at the center of its enterprise technology strategy. The company has highlighted growth across its AI infrastructure and enterprise AI offerings, including Gemini Enterprise, as part of its broader cloud business.

For the marketing organization, the role covers a broad portfolio spanning cloud infrastructure, data, AI, enterprise software, and customer solutions. That puts marketing increasingly close to the task of explaining complex technology propositions to business and technology decision-makers.

Buscemi’s move also marks a return to a major enterprise technology environment after her tenure at Confluent. Her background across data, analytics, cloud, and enterprise software positions her within a marketing function operating at the intersection of technology adoption and changing enterprise buying behavior.
