Xoogler.co: Susan Wojcicki | Our condolences to the Troper & Wojcicki Families

Thank you Susan Wojcicki for making Google the place that all of us wanted to join and mentoring so many Googlers. From having Larry and Sergey at your garage to joining Google in 1999 and becoming YouTube's CEO, your contributions to so many lives, the company and world is immeasurable. Our condolences to Dennis, Esther and the rest of your family during this time.

You can read about her impact on Sundar Pichai, Sheryl Sandberg, Jonathan Rosenberg, Marissa Mayer, Alan Eustace, Keval Desai, Hunter Walk, Shishir Mehrotra, Francoise Brougher, Wesley Chan, Bill Ready, Allan Thygesen, Yunkai Zhou, Punit Singh Soni, Stephanie Tilenius, Aparna Chennapragada and Lexi Reese.

Keval Desai shared: “The reason why Google today is the company that touches billions of people's lives daily and does that with empathy, humanity and a fundamental belief that doing good is the primary north star is because of Susan. The same founders, the same vision and the same leadership team could have produced an entirely different type of company if it were not for Susan's unreal abilities as a leader who always knew what was the right thing to do.”

Please share your thoughts, memories and impact that Susan had on your time at Google here. We will deliver these messages to Susan’s family.
