So you're on your own pursuing that goal.

And that's more or less what I've been doing since with some side trips along the way.

yeah i i certainly agree with that idea of transfer i guess the idea of uh being able to tackle a complex problem being able to move into an area that hadn't been done before and so you know academia is all about kind of an invention of the new and for industry it's a mix of

You want to make successful products, but sometimes in order to do that, you've got to invent something new.

And that's harder to do because you don't know what the demand for it is going to be.

There's nothing to compare to.

And yet you have to design a path to say, we're going to go ahead and build this, and we're going to put it out, and customers are going to have to get used to it because it's not going to be familiar to them.

Yeah, that's right.

So it was an awesome time.

The company was 2001, so it's three years old, 200 people, all in one building.

I came in and I got the honor of getting to lead the search team for a while, for about five years.

So it was a time when, you know, it's not like I invented it.

Google search was already there.

But they were three years old and it was really the time when they were trying to ramp up the advertising business.

So a lot of the key people who had built the search team had moved over to help build the advertising platform.

And so there was an opening and I had just come on board.

And so I got the opportunity.

to be a leader of the search team and bring that forward over the next five years.

So that was super exciting to be sort of right in the middle of a transformative time in our industry.

Yeah.
