He further mentioned that until his departure next month, he will be focusing on transitioning his teams and projects, and wrapping things up properly at Google. “When I do depart next month, it will be with nothing but appreciation and gratitude.”

“I learned how to work at Google, and I saw up close what excellence looks like. I had the opportunity to work on a myriad of important products and technologies. And I learned so much along the way, from my successes and failures alike,” he added.

Bavor also said that he had got the privilege of spending his days working alongside many “spectacularly smart, endlessly interesting, and unfailingly kind colleagues, many of whom I have come to count among my closest friends.”

“My time at Google has been one of the great gifts of my life. For it, and to all of those who made that time so special, I am grateful beyond words,” he added.
