YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki steps down after nine years at the helm

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki is stepping down from her post, she announced in an email sent to employees that YouTube posted publicly on Thursday. Wojcicki has been at Google for nearly 25 years but will be stepping back to “start a new chapter focused on my family, health, and personal projects I’m passionate about.”

Neal Mohan, currently YouTube’s chief product officer, will be taking over as head of the video streaming service. After serving as Google’s senior vice president of display and video ads for many years, Mohan joined YouTube in 2015 and has been one of Wojcicki’s primary lieutenants ever since. According to Wojcicki, Mohan played “pivotal roles” in the development of several YouTube products, including YouTube TV, YouTube Music, Premium, and Shorts, and also led the company’s trust and safety team.

In the near term, Wojcicki will be supporting Mohan and assisting with the transition. Longer term, she’ll hold an “advisory role across Google and Alphabet,” she says. “This will allow me to call on my different experiences over the years to offer counsel and guidance across Google and the portfolio of Alphabet companies.”

Wojcicki’s history with Google actually predates her official employment at the company, as she rented out garage space to founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page in 1998. She officially started at Google in 1999 when Brin and Page began building the search engine and eventually helped encourage the company to buy YouTube in 2006. She became the CEO of YouTube in 2014.

“Susan has a unique place in Google history and has made the most incredible contribution to products used by people everywhere,” Page and Brin said in a statement obtained by Recode. “We’re so grateful for all she’s done over the last 25 years.”

She knows that Jim Jordan is about to unleash fire and brimstone so she’s getting out of Dodge.

Good, maybe now YouTube will quit cancelling gun channels for showing how to insert a magazine into a firearm.

9 years of censoring the public to conceal ‘vaccine’ harm and the depravities of the Biden regime. Do they get a gold watch for that?

Hickock45’s channel is fine, but no doubt we’ve lost some gun channels.

Unfortunately it’s going to get worse with the next guy, but in the stupider sense. He’s a crypto and NLT freak. You know, those folks who think $100,000 pictures of bored apes is real art, and then the price drops to zero next week.

She basically was hired because she was their ex-landlord. Not that she wasn’t capable of doing the job — she came from well educated parents and went to the right schools — but she really had no experience. She was just in the right place at the right time. And now she’s worth millions. 😖
