Finally, huge thanks to Patrick Pichette for his seven super successful years as CFO”.

Speaking about her new stint with Google, Porat said – “I’m delighted to be returning to my California roots and joining Google. Growing up in Silicon Valley, during my time at Morgan Stanley and as a member of Stanford’s Board, I’ve had the opportunity to experience first hand how tech companies can help people in their daily lives. I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and get started.”
