• Experience building and leading high-performing, distributed teams across multiple US and Canadian locations.

• Decisive, execution-oriented leader who can set direction, prioritize, and hold a regional business accountable in a global matrix.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills — written and verbal — for a VP-level external-facing role.
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally as required.
• Nice to have: Direct experience at Google Cloud or leading a Google Cloud-aligned practice in North America.
• Familiarity with the enterprise generative AI adoption landscape and Gemini-driven services in North America accounts.
• Experience in EPAM's North America priority verticals: life sciences & healthcare, financial services, retail, or media & entertainment.

• Existing relationships with Google Cloud's North America partner and field leadership teams
