I'm pretty sure you all have this back-asswards. Susan's garage is where google was headquartered in the early days (1998). She didn't get the job because she is Sergey's wife's sister. Sergey met his wife through one of his first employees.

I wonder if she had to create a Google+ account in order to hold the position.

Susan's quite sharp. She ran the product team for ads (AdWords and AdSense) in the early days and made some pretty big moves, including pre-buying premium ad content on NYTimes and other sites to make the content network attractive to advertisers when it was initially seen as lower-quality goods. She's very quantitative.

Maybe she'll start fixing all the horrible ui garbage that's either accumulated or been left unattended. Youtube is barely usable, I only use it due to its ubiquity.

If anyone else thought that last name looked really familiar it's Sergey Brin's sister-in-law.

Is she the only female executive left at Google?

more ads on youtube?

Eventually, everything stays on family

so who's going to run ads now? Neal Mohan most likely
