bebop Technologies, to bolster its cloud offerings. Terms of the
deal weren't disclosed.
Ms. Greene, the f ormer chief executive and co-founder of VMware

continue to serve on its board as a nonindependent director, though
she will resign from the audit committee.
Google also said its board is considering adding another
independent director.
