Why is she even the CEO? Was she placed there by Google once they bought 23andme?

  She founded it
• akkartik 2y ago
  She's one of the original cofounders. Google never acquired it, only invested. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23andMe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/23andMe

  When did that happen? A founder was married to Sergei Brin for 8 years but that’s it.

  They haven't bought 23andme. but there is overlap, Anne was the former CEO of YouTube and wife of Sergey Brin

      Which part is incorrect?
      • bluedevil2k 2y ago
        Anne was never CEO of YouTube
  • LarsDu88 2y ago
    Anne's sister Susan, who died a month ago of lung cancer was CEO of YouTube. Susan was the person who advocated Google acquire YouTube in the first place. Google was founded in the garage of Anne and Susan's childhood home. Anne was married to Sergei until he had an affair. One of the board members of 23andMe is Neal Mohan who is the current CEO of YouTube.

        Haha, correct

  She founded the company 18 years ago. Google invested like <$10 million at the beginning and pulled out just earlier this year.
