Neal Mohan
Neal Mohan (born July 14, 1973) is an American businessman who has been the chief executive officer of the social media and online video sharing platform YouTube since 2023, succeeding Susan Wojcicki.
Mohan was born in Lafayette, Indiana. He spent most of his childhood growing up in the United States before moving to India with his family in 1985. In 1992, he moved back to the U.S. and attended Stanford University. He majored in electrical engineering and graduated in 1996. Mohan started working at Accenture, before joining a startup called NetGravity. He swiftly became a prominent figure within the company.
After returning to Stanford in 2003 to pursue his MBA, NetGravity's parent company, DoubleClick, which had acquired the company in 1997, began to undergo serious issues stemming from another 1999 acquisition of Abacus Direct; this ultimately led to the merger being effectively annulled. Mohan was enlisted by David Rosenblatt, who had become DoubleClick's new CEO in the wake of the split, to work at the company in 2005. Together, they reoriented the company, devising a plan said to still have an influence on Google's operations.
DoubleClick was acquired by Google in 2007, an acquisition largely oriented by Google executive Susan Wojcicki. She and Mohan extensively worked together for the next fifteen years. In 2015, Mohan became CPO of YouTube, which Wojcicki headed as CEO. Throughout the late 2010s and early 2020s, he spearheaded much of the company's ventures such as YouTube TV, YouTube Music, YouTube Premium and YouTube Shorts. Upon Wojcicki's resignation in February 2023, he succeeded her as the CEO of YouTube.
Neal Mohan was born in Lafayette, Indiana, on July 14, 1973. His parents, Aditya Mohan and Deepa Mohan, were Indian-Tamils from the city of Lucknow. Aditya Mohan moved to the United States in the early 1970s to pursue a PhD in civil engineering. He was admitted to Purdue University. Mohan grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He moved to India in 1985, with his family, spending the next seven years completing high school at St. Francis' College, where he learned to speak Hindi and Sanskrit. At some point between 1991 and 1992, Mohan moved back to the United States. He attended Stanford University, graduating in 1996 with a degree in electrical engineering and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2005 where he was an Arjay Miller Scholar.
After graduation, Mohan worked at Accenture, then owned by Arthur Andersen. In 1997, he joined a startup called NetGravity, becoming a key figure in the company's operations and greatly expanding its prominence.
In 1997, NetGravity was acquired by DoubleClick. Mohan moved from California to the company's headquarters in New York. In the next several years, he gradually became more involved in central business affairs within the company, with DoubleClick relying on him for cutting costs in the wake of the burst of the dot-com bubble. He became the vice president of business operations.
In 2003, he returned to Stanford to pursue his MBA. While he was at Stanford, DoubleClick began to face serious issues stemming from its acquisition from Abacus Direct in 1999. The merger was de facto annulled by Hellman & Friedman, who acquired DoubleClick and split off Abacus Direct from it. Hellman & Friedman requested that longtime executive David Rosenblatt become CEO of DoubleClick in the wake of the company's partition. Rosenblatt accepted this offer and also enlisted Mohan after he acquired his MBA in 2005, under Mohan's conditions that he would stay in California.
