Google has appointed a former Unilever top executive as its new managing director for the UK and Ireland.
American tech leader and entrepreneur Debbie Weinstein will look after the technology giant’s business in Britain from March 2023 and says it feels like “coming home”.
Weinstein will take over from Ronan Harris, who joined the company as MD for UK and Ireland in February 2022.
She was promoted from her role as vice president of global advertiser solutions for Google and YouTube, and was previously VP of global media at Unilever.
During her time running Google and YouTube’s advertising solutions department, she helped companies build businesses through the platform.
American-born Weinstein began his career as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs and previously worked for Viacom, MTV Networks and Bolt.com. He also founded a children’s food firm called Swingset Kitchens.
Debbie added: “I’ve spent most of my life living and working in the UK, so in some ways this new role feels like coming home.”
“The UK is a tech powerhouse and I look forward to playing my part in helping people and businesses make the most of the digital economy.”
Matt Brittain, President, Google EMEA said: “I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Debbie during her career at Google over the past eight years – learning from her and watching her lead with empathy, energy and confidence. He will be a fantastic addition to Google UK and Ireland – and I give him a very warm welcome and congratulations.”
