Susan Wojcicki, the former CEO of YouTube, has passed away at the age of 56. Her husband, Dennis Troper, shared the news on Facebook, revealing that Wojcicki had been living with non-small cell lung cancer for the past two years. Troper remembered his wife as a “brilliant mind, a loving mother, and a dear friend to many,” whose impact on their family and the world was immeasurable.

Wojcicki played a significant role in the early days of Google, hosting the company’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, in her garage as they launched their business. She went on to become Google’s first marketing manager and co-created Google Image Search. Wojcicki also served as the first product manager of AdSense and led Google’s video efforts, which ultimately led to the company’s acquisition of YouTube in 2006.

As CEO of YouTube, Wojcicki oversaw the platform’s growth into a key part of Google’s business. Under her leadership, YouTube’s ad revenue reached $29.24 billion in 2022, accounting for over 10% of Google’s total earnings. Wojcicki was also a vocal advocate for women in tech and refugees, and championed the benefits of lengthy parental leaves for businesses.

Outside of her work at Google, Wojcicki was a respected figure in the tech industry, known for her innovative approach and commitment to social causes. Alphabet’s current CEO, Sundar Pichai, remembered Wojcicki as someone who was “as core to the history of Google as anyone” and praised her for having a “tremendous impact on the world.”
