Susan Wojcicki, a Pivotal Chief of YouTube, Dies at 56

I read this obituary of Susan Wojcicki. She was the chief of YouTube. She died of lung cancer.

It could have been anyone’s death that caused a moment of reflection and meditation. This obituary did it for me.

She was only 16 years older than me. She led one of the biggest culture shifting platforms of our lifetime. She’s still dead.

Steve Jobs died over a decade ago. The culture of Apple has slowly degraded and changed. The brands and institutions being built outlive their founders. The founders still die.
