Summary: Media reports indicate Google has brought in Oren Teich to run Google App Engine, reporting to Sam Ramji, VP of product for Google’s cloud business. Teich co-founded Canvas in 2014, a collaborative word processing application. That business will be shut down. Prior to Canvas, Teich spent five years at Heroku, initially as VP product management and then as COO and GM after its acquisition by Salesforce in late 2010. Reports indicate Teich’s Heroku colleague and Canvas co-founder Max Schoening has also joined Google. Google, like AWS and Azure are investing heavily in product innovation. These hires suggest Google wants to add more PaaS capabilities to make it easier for developers to simply code and load on the cloud.
