| Youtube CEO, Susan Wojcicki |
The CEO of the world’s largest video platform YouTube, Susan Wojcicki comfortably reps my #WCW today. A graduate of Harvard University, Wojcicki earned two advanced degrees, one from UCLA, the other from UC Santa Cruz. Wojcicki played an instrumental role in two of Google’s most important deals the $1.65 billion purchase of YouTube in 2006, and the $3.1 billion acquisition of DoubleClick.
Wojcicki is currently responsible for Google’s most lucrative products, including the company’s main advertising platforms AdWords and AdSense. Her main focus these days is Google’s mobile advertising efforts. Don’t let her low-key style fool you, Wojcicki was named number 16 on Forbes' list of the most powerful women in the world and she has been called “the most important Googler you’ve never heard of and the most important person in advertising."
Wojcicki also played a key role in Google’s creation story. In 1998, company founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin rented space in her Palo Alto, California garage for $1700 per month.
Well deserved, keep shining Susan!
