Over the past five years, she has helped to build the team from the ground up, translating Google’s brand into an entirely new industry. She launched Google’s first physical shop-in-shops, developed the global strategy for Pixel in retail and managed product launches across the world. When she first joined Google in 2014, she managed Strategy & Operations for Google’s global CMO, including developing the annual marketing investment plan for the full organisation.
