Was this Google Executive deeply misinformed or lying in the New York Times?
For someone so pissed off about what they perceive as misinformation, there are simple facts here that are just false.<p>&quot;As background, Mohan first began working in the internet ad industry in 1997 at DoubleClick, which was aquired by Google for $3.1 billion in 2008. Mohan then served as SVP of display and video ads for Google for 7 years, before switching into the role of Chief Product Officer for Google’s YouTube.&quot;<p>Err when Google closed DoubleClick, he was &quot; Product Management Director for Ad Serving, reporting to Susan Wojcicki, VP of Product Management.&quot;  Not a senior exec, not &quot;SVP of display and video ads&quot;.<p>He was promoted to VP in 2009, and SVP in late 2015.  I&#x27;m too lazy to look up when the other job titles switched.<p>Seriously, this stuff is just not hard to get right, and if you are going to take someone else to task for misinformation, why are you not doing everything in your power to get it right (especially since this person seems to believe it&#x27;s so easy).<p>My best guess is she grabbed this stuff off a linkedin profile or something without bothering to actually try to verify it (which you should, since lots of  people only list the job title they left with, not what they had).<p>I haven&#x27;t bothered to fact check the rest of the claims, and the article is otherwise interesting, but seriously.<p>If you are going to try to run someone down, can you at least bother to get the data right?<p>Is this really the best we can do?
