Salesforce.com has tapped Google veteran Susan Wojcicki, the CEO of its YouTube video unit, to its board of directors, expanding the group to 11 members.
Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, called her “an extraordinary executive who has been instrumental in helping to build the world’s largest consumer cloud company.”
She’ll be the first second woman on the Salesforce board after Robin Washington, the CFO of Gilead Sciences. She is clearly accustomed to running a large operation: If YouTube were independent of Google it would be worth $40 billion, according to a recent estimate from an analyst for Jeffries.
Wojcicki joined Google in 1999 and took over YouTube this year. She also spoke at our Code/Mobile conference last month.

We're here to shed some clarity
One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal.
Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
