Former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki, has passed away at 56 years old.
She made extremely important contributions to the Creator Economy, and the internet as a wholeโฆ
Wojcicki joined Google in 1999 as the 16th employee, becoming the search engineโs first marketing exec. Co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin initially ran the company out of her garage in Menlo Park, Calif., which Wojcicki had rented out to the duo before Google secured office space.
In 2005, Wojcicki led the launch of Google Video โ and in 2006 she oversaw the internet companyโs $1.65 billion purchase of YouTube, a then-fledgling rival video-upload website. Among other accomplishments, she cut the companyโs first deals to license search technology and led the initial development of Googleโs image search.
She became the CEO of YouTube in 2014 and lead the company for 9 years.
RIP ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐
