In this episode of BossFiles, YouTube CEO Susan Wojicki, she was one of the first women hired at Google, employee number 16.

Dubbed by Time magazine as the most powerful person on the internet, she's now a leading voice in the effort to close the opportunity gap in Silicon Valley.

And this mother of five was the first woman ever

to take maternity leave from Google.

She joined me for a candid conversation

as part of our CNN Money American Opportunity

Breakfast series in New York.

We are so glad you're here.

but if you're not familiar with her, she was one of the first women hired at Google. Employee number

16. Is that right? Yep. Employee 16. She is unquestionably one of the most powerful media executives

on the planet right now. We are live streaming this at

YouTube.com slash CNN. And if she had not been looking for a little bit of extra money to pay

the mortgage on her first home, we may not be sitting here right now. And I will explain how

Larry Page and Sergey Brin fit into all of that in a moment. She's been increasingly active and vocal when it comes to

And she's the mother of five. Easy peasy, right?

Thank you for being here, Susan.

Sure. Thank you for having me.

So Time Magazine described you as the most powerful woman on the internet.
