The boss of Google has described Susan Wojcicki as a “core” part of the history of the company, which began in her garage.
Susan Wojcicki, who helped turn Google from a start-up in her garage into an internet juggernaut, and who became one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent female executives with her leadership of YouTube, died on Friday. She was 56.
“She is as core to the history of Google as anyone, and it’s hard to imagine the world without her,” Sundar Pichai, Google’s chief executive, said in a statement. She stepped down from her role last year, writing to YouTube employees at the time that she had decided to focus on “my family, health, and personal projects.”
Wojcicki was the eldest of three daughters. Her sister Janet is an epidemiologist and a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine. Her sister Anne was a founder of the genetics testing firm 23andMe and was once married to Sergey Brin. That year, she married Troper, who was a financial consultant at Deloitte in San Francisco while she was working in marketing at Intel in Santa Clara, according to. In 2003 he would join Google, where he is currently employed, according to his LinkedIn profile.
