Ruth Porat, President and Chief Investment Officer at Alphabet and Google

Ruth Porat is the President and Chief Investment Officer of Google and Alphabet. She is also my friend.

Her extraordinary schedule has often kept us thousands of miles apart as she moves across continents, connecting people, ideas, and communities.

But today, we’re together at last - a Ruth and a Ruthie - to talk about the importance of food at Google, her scientific childhood, how her father survived the Holocaust to rebuild his family, and how her grandmother spent her last day showing love through food.
