She joined Google in 1999 as the company’s first marketing manager and led the initial development of several key consumer products, including Google Images and Google Books. In 2002, she began working on Google’s advertising products; over the next 12 years, she led teams that helped define the vision and direction of Google’s monetization platforms.

Wojcicki graduated with honors from Harvard University, and she holds a master’s degree in economics from UC Santa Cruz and an MBA from UCLA. In 2015, she was named to Time’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
