The first thing to understand about Diane Greene, the woman #Google acqui-hired in November to transform its fragmented cloud business, is that she has the mind of an engineer.
Cool technology, elegantly designed and built, lights her up. Even her jokes tend to be geek oriented.
A lifelong competitive sailor, she was a mechanical engineer who built boats and windsurfers before she became an iconic Silicon Valley computer scientist.
The second thing to understand about her is that she hates the limelight.
While she's fine with standing on stage talking about all the cool things Google is building for their new target customer, big companies, she prefers not to talk about herself.
In fact, she's so ego-free, her office at Google's Mountain View, California, headquarters is just a tiny windowless room, big enough to hold an ordinary desk and two chairs.
