Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has appointed Kobi Bar-Nathan as the new Chief Financial Officer of its Google Cloud division. Bar-Nathan, who previously served as CFO of Oracle since December 2022, took over the finance leadership role at Google Cloud in June 2025, as noted in his LinkedIn profile. His hiring signals Alphabet’s continued focus on strengthening the financial management of its cloud business, which plays a key role in the company’s AI and enterprise strategies. Before Oracle, Bar-Nathan spent more than a decade at Microsoft, where he served as finance director for its cloud infrastructure division. Google confirmed his appointment to Bloomberg, though did not comment further.
Google Cloud generated $12.3 billion in revenue in Q1 2025, marking a 28% increase year over year, and contributed significantly to Alphabet’s total quarterly revenue of $90.2 billion. Bar-Nathan’s extensive experience across Microsoft, Oracle, and now Google gives him broad exposure to cloud financial operations and market competition. His leadership comes at a time when large tech companies are investing heavily in cloud infrastructure to support generative AI tools. With pressure mounting on cloud margins and infrastructure costs, Bar-Nathan is expected to play a key role in shaping Google Cloud’s financial strategy for long-term growth.
