Susan Wojcicki, former YouTube CEO, died at 56 after living with lung cancer. Wojcicki led YouTube from 2014 to 2023. She is survived by her husband, Dennis Troper, and their children.
Susan Wojcicki, the former CEO of YouTube, died "after two years of living with cancer," Alphabet CEO Sunder Pichai wrote on X, adding that he was "unbelievably saddened by the loss." She was 56.
"She is as core to the history of Google as anyone, and it's hard to imagine the world without her," Pichai continued. "She was an incredible person, leader and friend who had a tremendous impact on the world and I'm one of countless Googlers who is better for knowing her. We will miss her dearly. Our thoughts with her family. RIP Susan." Wojcicki is survived by her mother, journalist and educator Esther Wojcicki; her sisters, Janet, an anthropologist and epidemiologist, and Anne, the cofounder and CEO of 23andMe; her husband, Dennis Troper, and their four living children.
Wojcicki was predeceased by her father, Polish American physicist Stanley Wojcicki, and her son Marco, who died in February of this year. He was 19 years old.
Wojcicki married Troper in 1998.
On Facebook, Troper wrote on Friday night: "My beloved wife of 26 years and mother to our five children left us today after 2 years of living with non small cell lung cancer."
"Susan was not just my best friend and partner in life, but a brilliant mind, a loving mother, and a dear friend to many," Troper wrote.
Many prominent tech figures have also paid tribute to the late executive.
Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, described Wojcicki in a post on X as "a trailblazer in the industry, an exemplary mother, and a cherished friend."

Censored by God.
We must be allowed to read about her passing?
sure she is.
Many users believe that cannabis is natural and healthy. You’ve heard the term “medical marijuana.” Supposed to be good for you.
I don’t wish that horrible disease on my worst enemy, even though I don’t mind if some are removed from the planet. I had a life long friend pass from liver cancer 2 days ago after a 4 year illness, it sucks.
SHe had five kids—one of them seems to be still at home, so she didn’t finish raising him, and the other one she didn’t mention OD’d in university.
Karma.
Exactly—I hate censors like her.
They are ^%$&*) (&^%$# )(*&^^ (*&^!
I’m sure Hickock 45 and many other decent, honorable firearm related youtube hosts agree.
Her 19 year old son died in February from a drug overdose.
From Proverbs 10 today’
Excellent.
Thank you.
For what it’s worth, it’s this woman’s *mother* Esther who wrote the book about “How to Raise Successful People.” To my knowledge, Susan wasn’t on the record bragging about her kids’ success.
Facebook deleted the account of Richard Dawkins who coined the term MEME but is also an evolutionary biologist.
His crime?
He has an opinion about the “female” boxers. If not for Musk buying twitter there wouldnt be a good social media outlet for getting out info because of all the censorship. People on twitter are trying to get the scientific info out about XY situation
I know there are some comments in this thread deriding this woman’s politics and censorship (and such criticism is valid, IMO), but, damn, to be suffering from a terminal illness *AND* have your kid O.D. on drugs at the same time... well, it’s a reminder that all the money and prestige in the world can’t spare you from human suffering.
A 56 year old tyrant is dead..
Did YouTube cancel Hickock 45?
It’s been years since I’ve watched him but he was exactly as you describe — decent, honorable, law abiding, etc. Only a 2A hating leftwing fascist would shut down his channel.
YT censored conservative ‘Doug in Exile’ and banned his show. Such an ‘extremist’. Thin skinned Woke tards.
I was just banned from commenting today for one day. something about hate speech. All I did was call out the creator about lying with the title.
Wasn’t she supposed to be Biden’s “disinformation” czar?
