From what I can pick, Javier Soltero, ex-Microsoft, arrived at Google's G Suite in last year's October. [0] Then the pandemic hits and it gives reason to Google's Creative Director Margaret Cypher to "reinvigorate the design [...] that's remained mostly untouched since its arrival". [1]
>“The individual apps serve as expressions of Workspace capabilities... but they also need to be individually awesome,” Soltero says.
Which to me looks like a failed endeavour, because it obviously lost individuality and just seem to enforce the idea of the umbrella that Google Workspace encompasses, and he now leads.
>“This is the moment in which we break free from defining the structure and the role of our offerings in terms that were invented by somebody else in a very different era,” says Javier Soltero, Google’s vice president and general manager of G Suite and now Workspace
And that's how you say that it "changed because I arrived and yes, I'm asserting dominance."
