Both Chris and Ben are seasoned veterans with broad experience in cloud computing and building scaled professional services organizations. Chris most recently helped cloud consultancy 2nd Watch scale where he led Sales and Professional Services. Previously, Resch was Practice Manager at Amazon Web Services, responsible for some of the first enterprise migrations to the public cloud.
Ben comes to Cloudbakers from 7Summits, where he helped build one of the nation's largest independent Salesforce consultancies and led Finance, HR/Recruiting, and Operations. Before 7Summits, Kessler worked for McKinsey & Company and Lincoln International.
Both executives have a track record of dynamic leadership and inclusion while helping cloud consultancies scale rapidly and effectively.

Cloudbakers' highly talented team, expanding offering set, and the tailwinds of Google Cloud Platform present the tremendous opportunity of building a great business, bringing significant value to each of our customers, and creating a lighthouse for technical, sales, and delivery talent within the GCP ecosystem," said Kessler.

What began as a means to migrate traditional data centers has quickly become a critical business differentiator and economic enabler," said Resch. "Cloudbakers is uniquely positioned to help our customers achieve better business results through our focus, expertise, and partnership with Google Cloud."
