- khazhoux 2y agoThe person now in charge of Search is Elizabeth Hamon Reid, a long-time googler who came up through the ranks from engineer (in Google Maps) to VP over 20 years. She's legit.

- khazhoux 2y agoAh, according to this, she’s head of Search but reports to Prabhakar. I thought from recent reports that she’d taken search over from him. Nonetheless, she was a good engineer and a good manager, back when we crossed path many moons ago. https://searchengineland.com/liz-reid-google-new-head-of-search-438519 https://searchengineland.com/liz-reid-google-new-head-of-sea...
- lolinder 2y agoThat was a decision that prioritized the bottom line over other things. But saying that Google is "focused" on the bottom line implies that there's a pattern of them putting the bottom line first, which is simply not true if you look at Google as a whole. Search specifically, maybe, but not Alphabet.
