Google Cloud is adding its first North American sales head. The new hire comes after several growth investments under CEO Thomas Kurian.

Kirsten Kliphouse will lead North America sales as the company goes after enterprises, mid-market customers and small and midsize businesses, the company told CNBC. She will also oversee how customers use G-suite as well as broader Google services.

The latest appointment comes as Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian executes his plan to aggressively expand its sales team as the company tries to catch up to leading cloud competitors Amazon and Microsoft. Kurian this week also brought on his former Oracle colleague of 20 years Eduardo Lopez as Google Cloud’s first sales head of Latin America.

The new executive hires also come as the company announced three tuck-in acquisitions in less than two months. Google Cloud announced plans to acquire data analytics firm Looker for $2.6 billion last month. Last week, it announced Google’s cybersecurity company Chronicle would move from an Alphabet spin-out into Google’s cloud umbrella. Then, this week, it announced plans to acquire cloud storage company Elastifile for an undisclosed price.
