Susan Wojcicki, former YouTube CEO and longtime Google executive, has died at 56

Susan Wojcicki, a pioneering tech executive who helped shape Google and YouTube, has died, her husband said. She was 56.

Wojcicki played a key role in Google’s creation and served nine years as YouTube’s CEO, stepping down last year to focus on her “family, health, and personal projects I’m passionate about,” she said at the time.

was she the lady that rented the garage?

Yep

Her collaboration with Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin began shortly after they incorporated their search engine into a business in 1998. Wojcicki rented the garage of her Menlo Park, California, home to them for $1,700 a month, cementing a formative partnership. Page and Brin — both 25 at the time — continued to refine their search engine in Wojcicki’s garage for five months before moving Google into a more formal office and later persuaded their former landlord to come work for their company.

How big was that garage?

It was in Menlo Park. Any space in that area is a premium so the rent fee and the size is kind of irrelevant.

I know what the prices are like in the Bay Area - I lived there for a significant fraction of my life. $1,700 in 1998 dollars is around $3,300 today. In the mid-to-late 2010s I was paying about $4k for around 1,300 square feet, so there’s still something amiss.
