SAN BRUNO, Calif. (KRON) -- Longtime CEO of YouTube Susan Wojcicki announced her plans to step down in a letter sent to YouTube employees and published on its company blog. Wojcicki said she will be replaced by Neal Mohan.
She said that she would be stepping away from her position to “start a new chapter focused on my family, health and personal projects I’m passionate about.”
Wojcicki said she will help the company transition to new leadership in an advisory role across Google and Alphabet, YouTube's parent company.
"It’s an incredibly important time for Google—it reminds me of the early days—incredible product and technology innovation, huge opportunities, and a healthy disregard for the impossible," Wojcicki said in the letter.
Wojcicki closed by thanking employees and YouTube Creators for the many years.
