Former YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki Dies at 56
WiredThe unassuming house on Santa Margarita Avenue in Menlo Park, California, had been empty for only a couple of years when I visited in 2008, but the ghosts were still there. In Google’s infancy the house belonged to a young couple, Dennis Troper and Susan Wojcicki, who had recently purchased it for $615,000. “They weren’t allowed to enter the front door.” Wojcicki found herself hanging out with the young founders and became fascinated by the rise of the search startup. In 2014, she became CEO of the company's video product YouTube, running one of the world’s biggest media properties and navigating it through competitions with other social networks and crises of content moderation. Even before Eric Schmidt became Google’s CEO and became known as the adult in the room, Wojcicki was a calm, analytical presence whose wise counsel and steady work ethic qualified her for the company’s most critical roles, even as Google, later named Alphabet, grew to one of the world’s most powerful companies.
