- ur-whale 6y agoNote that Google currently has a PM in the CEO's seat.
- ignoramous 6y agoTo be fair, one simply doesn't go from running a humble org competing with the Alexa Toolbar to running all of Alphabet with just PM mindset.
- paxys 6y agoSundar worked as an engineer, management consultant and product manager before moving up the management ranks at Google. So labeling him as a PM isn't accurate.
- ur-whale 6y ago> as an engineer Nope. He's a McKinsey drone through and through. Never wrote a line of code @ Google. Calling him an engineer is an insult to engineers.
- brown9-2 6y agoThere is a lot of conflating of “project manager” and “product manager” in these comments.
