In front of the public, Neal Mohan is a discreet Google executive, but behind the scenes the scenario is different. He is a tech world veteran and reportedly such an indispensable piece that the internet giant opened its accounts in 2011 to prevent it from escaping onto Twitter. The information was never confirmed, but the company allegedly convinced him to keep a $100 million bond in shares
Mohan, 49, came to Google when the company he worked for, DoubleClick, was bought by the giant. Over the years, he collected positions and areas of activity at Google. Until he came to YouTube, where until recently he was the right hand of one of the technology’s most veteran employees, Susan Wojcicki, until now CEO of the video platform.
This is the “right time” to “start a new chapter, focused on family, health and personal projects,” the YouTube leader and Google’s 16th-oldest employee recently announced to the world. When he signed the farewell note, he immediately revealed the name of his successor: Neal Mohan, his product manager. Wojcicki underlined his confidence in Mohan for the passing of the testimony. “He has a wonderful understanding of our product, our business, our communities of creators and users, and our people. Neal is going to be an incredible leader for YouTube.”
