Ask HN: What is a “Google Fellow”?
Today’s announcement of the discontinuation of Google Wave [1] was made by “Urs Hölzle, Senior Vice President, Operations & Google Fellow.”
Googling the phrase shows few results and no obvious answers.

- wmf 16y agoAt many companies Fellow is the highest technical job title, reserved for people who have made major contributions to the company. It often carries a degree of autonomy from corporate strategy and sometimes a sort of tenure, akin to a full professorship. See http://www.research.ibm.com/resources/awards_fellows.shtml http://www.research.ibm.com/resources/awards_fellows.shtml for example.
