We have some exciting news to share! Here at Daston, we’re always looking for innovative leaders who can help our clients navigate their most complex challenges. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that Paul Bahl has joined our team as the new Google Cloud National Sales Manager. With over 16 years of experience in the Google partner ecosystem, Paul is a true veteran and a champion for creative, customer-centric solutions.

Paul will be leading our efforts to expand the adoption of Google Cloud collaboration suites, including Google Workspace, Classroom, and Chrome, specifically for our state and local government clients. This is a critical area where secure and efficient technology can make a profound difference, and Paul’s expertise is unmatched.

A Passion for Purpose-Driven Work

What truly sets Paul apart is his deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges faced by state and local government agencies. He has a wealth of experience, particularly from his extensive work with state correction agencies in Michigan, Ohio, Colorado, Alabama, and Illinois. Paul isn’t just selling technology; he’s guiding agencies through every step of their cloud adoption journey, from secure technical configuration,to end-user and educator specific training and change management. He ensures a smooth and effective transition that truly meets the client’s needs.

One of his most inspiring accomplishments is deploying secure Google Workspace environments, which include Classroom and Chromebooks, in correctional facilities. This initiative gives incarcerated individuals access to the same modern educational tools used by millions of students worldwide. So far, this approach has been adopted by seven state agencies, with two more expected to join by the end of this year. This work highlights not only the versatility of Google’s products but also their potential to create significant social impact by providing valuable educational opportunities and upskilling technical proficiency in secure settings.

A Seasoned Expert with a Fresh Perspective

Before joining Daston, Paul spent 16 years with a single firm, Tempus Nova, which was acquired in 2021. This long tenure speaks volumes about his dedication and deep knowledge of the industry. His transition to Daston shows his commitment to working with companies that prioritize creativity and client success above all else. His expertise in guiding customers through every phase of their cloud journey—from initial configuration and best practices to user training—will be an incredible asset to our clients. He has already made a name for himself in the corrections industry, being the only person to have led the evaluation and deployment of secure Google Workspace environments to seven state agencies.

We’re incredibly excited to have Paul on board. His expertise, leadership, and passion for making a difference align perfectly with our mission here at Daston. His arrival marks a new chapter in our commitment to helping government agencies leverage the power of Google Cloud to achieve their goals.

Join us in giving a warm welcome to Paul Bahl! We are confident that his leadership will be instrumental in our continued success and our clients’ digital transformation.
