Susan Wojcicki: Teknotähti syöksyi tähtisateessa

Google - internetin historia - keuhkosyöpä - naisten rooli teknologiassa - Sundar Pichai - Susan Wojcicki - teknologia - YouTube

YouTube-kamelia ajoi loppusijoituksensa. Susan Wojcicki, 56, menehtyi keuhkosyöpään ja jätti jälkeensä pysyvän muiston internetin historiaan!

Susan Wojcicki, entinen YouTube-pomo ja yksi Silicon Valleyn vaikutusvaltaisimmista naisista, on kuollut vain 56-vuotiaana keuhkosyövän vuoksi. Hän oli yksi Googlen aikaisimmista työntekijöistä ja värittänyt monilla tavoilla internetin kehitystä viimeisen kahden vuosikymmenen aikana. Hänet tunnettiin visionäärinä, joka auttoi muovaamaan YouTuben nykyistä muotoa ja kehittämään sen kytköksiä laajempaan digitaalisuuteen.

Wojcicki aloitti uransa Googlessa vuonna 1999, ja hänen asiantuntemuksensa tuotiin käytäntöön YouTuben johdossa, jonne hän nousi vuonna 2014. Hänen aikanaan YouTube levisi maailmanlaajuisesti, ja se on nykyään yksi käytetyimmistä alustoista niin viihdyttämiseen kuin oppimiseenkin. Wojcicki oli todellinen trailblazer, joka avasi ovet tuleville naisille teknologiamaailmassa, näyttäen, että voimaa ja vaikutusta voidaan saavuttaa kyvyillä ja visiolla.

Wojcicki oli keskeisessä roolissa myös monien kiistanalaisten päätösten takana, kuten demonetisoinnin ja tekijänoikeuskysymysten ratkaisemisessa, jotka muovasivat YouTubesta sen nykyisen version. Hänen poismenoaan surevat monet korkean teknologian ammattilaiset, ja Google CEO Sundar Pichai on jo kunnioittanut hänen muistoaan. Tämä jättää suuren tyhjön internetin kehitykselle ja erityisesti naisjohtajuuden esikuville.

Oli kyse rahanteosta tai viihteestä, Susan Wojcicki vaikutti suuresti siihen, miten mediaa kulutetaan tänä päivänä ja miten vaikuttajat saavat äänensä kuuluviin. Suuren teknologisen perinnön ja rohkeutensa myötä hän jättää vahvan jäljen, joka pysyy elossa pitkään.

Hauska fakta: Tiesitkö, että Susan Wojcicki on myös erittäin lahjakas golfharrastaja? Hänellä on aikaa hioa taitojaan sekä teknologiamaailman huipulla että kentillä! Toinen mielenkiintoinen seikka on se, että Wojcicki oli ensimmäinen nainen, joka sai vastata Googlen markkinoinnista ja liiketoimintamalleista, avaten uuden aikakauden naisjohtajuudelle teknologiateollisuudessa.
