YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki Resigns

Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube, an online video sharing and social media platform, has resigned.

Susan Wojcicki, one of the first employees of technology giant Google and the CEO of the world-famous online video sharing and social media platform YouTube, announced her resignation in an email to her employees. It has been announced that 54-year-old Wojcicki will be replaced by his assistant Neal Mohan.

Wojcicki’s resignation comes after YouTube’s ad revenue fell in the second quarter due to intense watchtime competition from platforms like Netflix and short-form video services like TikTok and Facebook’s reels.
