Head of AI GTM at Google Cloud · WEF Young Global Leader · 20+ years at the intersection of enterprise technology and transformative growth.
Hitesh Wadhwa is a senior AI and enterprise technology leader whose career spans Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, and Tech Mahindra — consistently operating where transformative technology meets business impact at scale. As Head of AI GTM at Google Cloud, he leads sales, strategy, and the growth and adoption of AI across North America with a primary focus on the Financial Services vertical.
His conviction is simple and unwavering: technology, applied with wisdom and purpose, can address the most complex challenges facing our world. This belief earned him recognition as a WEF Young Global Leader (Class of 2021) — a distinction awarded to fewer than 100 exceptional leaders worldwide each year, and a role he takes to global stages from Davos to New York.
Earlier in his career, Hitesh was chosen twice for Tech Mahindra's highly competitive Shadow Board — an exclusive program selecting just six individuals annually from a pool of over 130,000 employees — where he led programs spanning digital transformation, diversity, culture, and sustainability.
"I look forward to working on solving some really complex and challenging global issues through technology and making my life more meaningful and purposeful."
Whether you're exploring AI strategy, looking for a speaker, or interested in connecting through the WEF YGL network — Hitesh is always open to conversations at the frontier of technology and impact.
