Dennis Woodside oversaw Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility, and is former President of Google's Americas region. He has worked with partners, governments and advertisers in more than 30 countries.
Most recently, Dennis was responsible for Google's Sales & Operations in the Americas. He also was the lead business partner for Google's advertising product development team, helping launch new ad products globally.
Dennis started his career at Google spearheading investment across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
"I've known Dennis for nearly a decade, and he's been phenomenal at building teams and delivering on some of Google's biggest bets. Dennis has always been a committed partner to our customers and I know he will be an outstanding leader of Motorola - and he's already off to great start with some very strong new hires for the Motorola team," says Larry Page, CEO, Google.
Woodside has a BS in Industrial Relations from Cornell University and a JD in Law from Stanford Law School. Before joining Google in October 2003 Woodside worked with McKinsey & Company.
