Susan Wojcicki is a central player in the origin story of Google. In 1998 she rented her Menlo Park garage to Sergey Brin and Larry Page to start the company. She became Google’s 16th employee and now, as the head of the company’s advertising products, she brought in $43.7 billion last year – 95 percent of Google’s revenue. As part of our First Person series profiling notable leaders in the Bay Area, we talk with Susan Wojcicki about the changing world of digital advertising, and about raising four children and a flock of chickens while holding one of the most powerful business positions in the world.

Guests:

Susan Wojcicki, senior vice president in charge of Google's Advertising Products
