Susan Wojcicki, Former YouTube CEO, Dies at 56 After Cancer Battle and Son's Death
Aug 10, 2024, 06:48 AM
Susan Wojcicki, former CEO of YouTube and a key figure in Google's early days, has died at the age of 56 after a two-year battle with cancer. Wojcicki, who joined Google as its 16th employee, was instrumental in its growth, having rented her garage to the company's co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, in 1998. She later became YouTube's CEO, serving from 2014 to 2023, where she played a significant role in shaping the platform's policies and growth. Her passing was announced by her husband, Dennis Troper, who shared that she had been battling non-small cell lung cancer. Earlier this year, Wojcicki faced the tragic loss of her son in February. Her impact on the tech industry and her contributions to Google and YouTube have been widely recognized, with tributes pouring in from colleagues and industry leaders.
