Wojcicki served as YouTube's CEO from 2014 until her resignation in 2023
In a heartfelt Facebook post, Troper expressed his grief, writing, "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," he continued. "Her impact on our family and the world was immeasurable. We are heartbroken, but grateful for the time we had with her. Please keep our family in your thoughts as we navigate this difficult time.”
Wojcicki served as YouTube's CEO from 2014 until her resignation in 2023. She was one of Google's earliest employees, joining the tech giant in 1999. Wojcicki stepped down from her role at YouTube in 2023, stating her desire to "start a new chapter focused on my family, health, and personal projects."
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google, expressed his sorrow on X (formerly Twitter) after hearing about Wojcicki’s death, saying, “Unbelievably saddened by the loss of my dear friend (Susan Wojcicki) after two years of living with cancer,”
"She is as core to the history of Google as anyone, and it’s hard to imagine the world without her," he wrote. "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’s death comes just months after the tragic loss of her 19-year-old son, Marco Troper, who was found dead in his dorm room at the University of California, Berkeley, reportedly due to a drug overdose.
