Business career
Andi Gutmans helped to co-create PHP, and co-founded Zend Technologies[3] and is the GM and VP for Data Cloud at Google. A graduate of the Technion, the Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Gutmans and fellow student Zeev Suraski created PHP 3 in 1997. In 1999 they wrote the Zend Engine, the core of PHP 4, and founded Zend Technologies, which has since overseen PHP advances, including the PHP 5 [4] and most recent PHP 7 releases. The name Zend is a portmanteau of their forenames, Zeev and Andi.[5]
Gutmans was CEO of Zend Technologies until October 2015 when Zend was acquired by Rogue Wave Software. Before being appointed CEO in February 2009,[6] he led Zend's R&D including development of all Zend products and Zend's contributions to the open-source Zend Framework and PHP Development Tools projects. He has participated at Zend in its corporate financing and has also led alliances with vendors like Adobe, IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle.[3]
Gutmans was on the board of the Eclipse Foundation[7] (October 2005 – October 2008),[8][9] is an emeritus member of the Apache Software Foundation,[10] and was nominated for the FSF Award for the Advancement of Free Software[11] in 1999.
In 2004 he wrote a book called "PHP 5 Power Programming" [12] together with Stig Bakken and Derick Rethans.
Gutmans was recognized by ComputerWorld magazine in July 2007 [13][14] in their article "40 Under 40: 40 Innovative IT People to Watch, Under the Age of 40.” [15]
In March 2016, Gutmans left Rogue Wave[16] to join Amazon Web Services.[17] Explaining his motivations, Gutmans cited "Cloud infrastructure adoption is at a tipping point" and "the data 'center of gravity' is moving to the cloud", where Amazon "appears to effectively balance innovation and invention: a focus on customer value with a bias to action".[18] In his role at Amazon Web Services, Gutmans managed Amazon Elasticsearch Service, Amazon Redshift, Amazon EMR, Amazon Glue, Amazon ElastiCache and Amazon Neptune.
In May 2020, Gutmans joined Google as VP & GM, Databases and now is the VP & GM, Data Cloud, which includes operational databases, analytical data platforms, open lakehouse technologies, and Business Intelligence.[19]
