We are deeply saddened by the passing of Susan Wojcicki, a trailblazing leader who served as YouTube's CEO from 2014 to 2023 and was one of the pioneering forces behind Google. Her visionary leadership and transformative impact on the tech industry continue to inspire us. Over a remarkable 20-year career, Susan broke barriers in a male-dominated field, leaving an indelible mark on technology. Growing up on the Stanford University campus, she returned two years ago for the WiDS Stanford Conference, where she shared her words of encouragement and resilience with a room full of passionate, driven women eager to hear more about her life and career. We share in the sorrow of her loss. Watch her inspiring conversation with Google Fellow, Diane Tang: https://lnkd.in/gscEeddz
