Susan Wojcickithe former CEO of YouTube and longtime Google executive, has died, her husband said. She was 56.
“My beloved wife of 26 years and mother of our five children left us today after living with non-small cell lung cancer for 2 years,” Dennis Troper said in a social media post Friday night.
“Susan was not only my best friend and partner in life, but also a brilliant mind, a loving mother, and a dear friend to many,” Troper said.
No further details about her death were released.
Wojcicki, who played a key role in founding Google, stepped down as CEO of YouTube in 2023 after nine years leading the video service that revolutionized entertainment, culture and politics.
Shortly after Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin spun their search engine into a company in 1998, Wojcicki rented out the garage of her Menlo Park, California, home for $1,700 a month.
Wojcicki and Troper’s 19-year-old son, Marco Troper, died in February on the campus of UC Berkeley, where he lived as a freshman.
