Susan Wojcicki
She began her career at Intel and became involved in the creation of Google in 1998 when she and her husband Dennis rented their garage to Google’s co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. As Google’s 16th employee and first marketing manager, Susan helped create the company’s logo, developed AdSense, Google Analytics, Google Books, Google Images, and led the acquisitions of YouTube and DoubleClick.
In 2013, AdWeek called Susan “the most important person in advertising.” In 2015, TIME named her one of the 100 most influential people, and in 2017 the same publication named her “the most powerful woman on the internet.”
Susan graduated with honors from Harvard University, held a master's in economics from UC Santa Cruz, and an MBA from UCLA Anderson. She served on the boards of directors for Salesforce, Waymo, and Planet Labs, as well as the boards of Room to Read and Environmental Defense Fund.
