Susan Wojcicki: Ex CEO of YouTube
Her departure comes at a time when there is much excitement — and concern — about the role of AI chatbots like ChatGPT (now integrated with rival Microsoft’s Bing Search) in changing how the world might end up searching for information online. There is also stiff competition to YouTube from short-duration videos in the form of TikTok and Instagram Reels.
Neal Mohan appreciates Wojcicki works!
Addressing Wojcicki, Mohan said on Twitter, “It’s been amazing to work with you over the years. You’ve built YouTube into an extraordinary home for creators and viewers. I’m excited to continue this awesome and important mission. Looking forward to what lies ahead.”

Tech is as an incredible force that will change our world in ways we can’t anticipate. If that force is only 20 to 30% women, that is a problem.
