Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrem Kumar is a seasoned engineering leader with 12+ years at Google and over two decades in systems, storage, networking and wireless, currently leading SSD Platforms Storage at Google from Saratoga, CA. He has repeatedly led complex, multi-site programs—spanning OS internals, device drivers, cloud services, embedded platforms and silicon lifecycle—from Nest and Fiber to Android connectivity and Qualcomm wireless SoCs. Known for bridging deep technical expertise with executive-level program execution, he has built and scaled global teams across India, Taiwan and the US while driving product launches and customer integrations for top-tier OEMs. His background in mechanical engineering (IIT Madras) and an MS in Computer Science informs a pragmatic systems mindset that surfaces in both hardware-software co-design and production-grade cloud services. Not obvious from titles: he’s blended startup-speed delivery (early CDN and mobile app ventures) with large-company rigor, making him equally comfortable with prototype innovations and mission-critical release processes.
