What's important is that I do my job really well, that I build great products and that I'm a great leader. All those things matter independent of gender. But I do think there's a responsibility for me to support other women at Google.
I've seen all of these decisions that have been made by all these great leaders who have been part of Google, and this has been an opportunity for me when I'm running YouTube, is to be able to take advantage of all of those memories.
I have tried to be a leader. I have tried in my role of being one of the first women at Google, let alone the first woman to have a baby, to really try to set the tone that this is a great place to work for diversity reasons.

Having a child is a big life change, but the really hectic period is relatively short. You can get through it.
YouTube is growing up, is basically my view of it. Growing up means our creators are growing up; they're getting more well known. We're providing programs for them to generate more revenue so they can generate even better, high-quality shows, and then also connecting them with the advertisers.
My most radical shift was leaving Intel and joining Google, a small startup at the time, even though I was pregnant.
Even in a culture where people are well meaning, there are sometimes 'microaggressions.' People who will just cut you off. You'll be talking, and someone will interrupt you. That's become a big pet peeve of mine.
People don't understand the logistics of advertising. To have the ads purchased and run, you need to have a series of products that work together.

Today, most young women are exposed to technology at a very young age, with mobile phones, tablets, the Web or social media. They are much more proficient with technology than prior generations since they use it for all their school work, communication and entertainment.
I'm excited about the opportunities with mobile phones and being able to receive information on the go and relevant to what I'm doing at that moment in time.
It's important for me to show my children the richness of life and be a role model. I find that my organizational and management skills are tested more at home than at work!
I am responsible for creating and overseeing the future products that make up Google Advertising.
If women don't participate in tech, with its massive prominence in our lives and society, we risk losing many of the economic, political, and social gains we have made over decades.
If a third of Americans' time is being spent online, why is only a quarter of ad dollars spent there? It's not proportional.
I love taking an idea... to a prototype and then to a product that millions of people use.
Let's face it: Engineering companies in general have more men than women. Google has tried really hard to recruit women. On the other hand, we have a standard. Google tries to recruit the best engineers.
YouTube has moved culture forward in attitudes - on refugees, on LGBT issues - especially trans issues. There was untapped demand there; a lot of our users would still be under-served without us. We're a platform that enables everyone to have a voice.
Paid leave is a not just a mother and child issue, it's a societal issue we have.
