Expressing his “deepest gratitude to the people who made these years truly unforgettable,” Zavery wrote. “Together, we’ve tackled challenges, celebrated victories, and pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. I’m proud of everything we’ve achieved as a team, and I’ll carry forward the invaluable lessons and lasting relationships from this journey.” Zavery gave a “huge thank you to Sundar Pichai and Thomas Kurian, my team, colleagues, mentors, and friends at Google for your constant support, encouragement, and inspiration.”
