Soltero is the latest in a string of hires at Google Cloud as CEO Thomas Kurian ramps up efforts t compete with Microsoft and Amazon.Google hired the former head of strategy for Microsoft's Office productivity software, enlisting a veteran tech exec to go after the very business he left a year ago amid a reorg.

G Suite, Google's collection of productivity apps, includes products like Gmail and word processing apps, Sheets and Docs, as well as the calendaring app. The individual products are free for consumers, but Google sells fuller-featured versions of the products to business users for monthly fees. He joined Microsoft in 2014, when it acquired Acompli, a mobile email startup that he co-founded and served as the CEO for. After the acquisition, Acompli's app was rebranded as the Outlook app for iPhone and Android. Soltero's position in the company skyrocketed as a result and he was eventually leading Outlook across all platforms and then leading strategy for all of Microsoft Office.
