Liz Reid
VP & Head of Google Search
Liz Reid is the Vice President and Head of Google Search, leading one of the world's most important AI-powered products used by billions of people daily. She was promoted to lead Search in March 2024, overseeing the integration of generative AI — including AI Overviews — into the core search experience.
Reid joined Google in 2003 as one of the first engineers building Google's search infrastructure. Over more than two decades at the company, she has held various engineering and leadership roles across Google's search and AI teams, building deep expertise in information retrieval, natural language processing, and machine learning.
