In her parting letter, Wojcicki said that her de facto constable, Neal Mohan, would take over as YouTube’s next CEO. Mohan joined Google in 2007 when Google acquired ad business DoubleClick. He moved on to become YouTube’s Chief Product Officer in 2015, where he was instrumental in the introduction of YouTube TV, YouTube Music, Premium, and Shorts. Mohan was also in charge of the service’s trust and safety team.
Wojcicki said that Mohan would be senior vice president and head of YouTube, rather than CEO. “With everything we’re doing across Shorts, streaming, and subscriptions, as well as the potential of AI,” Wojcicki added.
