Today on #CloudWars Minute: Safra Catz of Oracle is our CEO of the Year for 2022! Wielding remarkable humility and ferocious competitiveness in equal measure, #SafraCatz is presiding over a transformation at Oracle that's seen it become the fastest-growing major #cloud company in the world. For 23 years, she's been an increasingly powerful partner to #LarryEllison at a time when few tech-exec partnerships make it to 3 or 4 years. As a result, Oracle #customers are thriving.

Look for our #CEO of the Year article later this morning on Acceleration Economy, based on my recent one-on-one interview with Safra. Congratulations to her and to the whole Oracle team!

Lots of changes over the past week in the Acceleration Economy #CloudWars Top 10! Google Cloud overtakes Amazon for #2 spot, ServiceNow jumps up to #6, Workday rises to #7, Salesforce slips to #8, IBM slides to #9, and Snowflake falls to #10. Other than Snowflake, all of these moves reflect customers’ new focus on Innovation Cloud ahead of Productivity Cloud.
