Patricia Taite goes by Trish and is a SoCal Region Lead covering California for Google. Trish started working for Google Cloud in November of 2017 and now leads a region with thousands of customers in supporting Google Cloud Platform, G Suite, and Chrome O/S. Upon graduation from the University of Arizona, where Trish studied Computer Information Systems and Operations Management in business school, Trish began her almost 10 year career at Cisco as a Systems Engineer. After developing network and data center sales engineering skills, Trish pivoted to become a Data Center Specialist for various commercial/enterprise customers in Arizona, Nevada and LA, California. During this time, she focused on selling data center solutions into various vertical markets. Trish’s last 2 years at Cisco were spent as a client manager where she was building tailored technology solutions across all architectures for strategic customers in LA, California.
Trish is passionate about spending time with family and friends, technology, teaching, traveling, running, and almost anything outdoors. One of her favorite places to visit is Havasupai, which is a magical place with many waterfalls in the bottom of the Grand Canyon where she has done 70 ft cliff diving. Trish is living with her fiance in Santa Monica, California. Trish enjoys every other weekend as a "pseudo mom" to Chloe (10) and Lily (8). She comes from a family of 6 and is very close with both parents, 2 brothers, a sister, 4 nephews and a niece. Junior Achievement is one of many volunteer activities that she is passionate about.
