Another powerful moment came from Anthony Cirot , VP of EMEA South for Cloud, as he outlined how Google Cloud is reshaping the landscape of generative AI. Hearing firsthand about the strides Google Cloud is making in this field was inspiring—his insights resonated as a vision for the future of Gen-AI that feels both accessible and transformative.

This echoed through Mr. Abdullah Jarwan , CEO of CNTXT , who shared how CNTXT & Google Cloud prioritizes value-driven partnerships with integrity, focusing on quality over quantity.
In the heart of the Google Cloud Startup Garden, I connected with passionate leaders like Suzanne Ghazlan-Leow Country Marketing Manager for Cloud KSA & Lama Gharibo ’s and Suzanne enthusiasm made a real impression—she introduced me to Abdulrahman Alshaker.
