Neal Mohan, an Indian-American business executive, will succeed long-term Alphabet, Susan Wojcicki as the new CEO (chief executive officer) of YouTube. Following this elevation, Mohan will join the elite list of global tech heads of Indian origin, like Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Adobe's Shantanu Narayen, and IBM's Arvind Krishna.

The new YouTube CEO had previously worked under Wojcicki as the chief product officer. He has previously represented the company on various talk shows, such as the popular Lew Later (unbox therapy), where he spoke about his early life and YouTube's plans for the future.

In her farewell letter, Wojcicki also spoke highly of the new YouTube CEO and said that Mohan played a pivotal role in the launch of some of the biggest YouTube products, including YouTube TV, YouTube Music, Premium, and Shorts. With conversation AI being the talk of the town, it will be interesting to see what lies ahead for YouTube in the future after Mohan's elevation.
