Early Beginnings and Key Impact on Google

Susan Wojcicki, one of the influential forces in shaping Google, began her journey with the company early on when she allowed Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to operate their startup out of her garage in 1998. As one of Google's earliest employees, her initial role focused on expanding the company’s presence by placing its search tool on various websites, significantly contributing to Google's early growth. This strategic move not only promoted Google’s search engine but also established it as a household name, setting the foundation for the company's dominance in the tech industry. Wojcicki’s understanding of marketing and technology played a pivotal role in monetizing the internet, leading to her involvement in shaping online advertising practices.
