We have great momentum in Search, with recent improvements in search quality, new ways to search like Circle to Search, and features using gen AI to help with even more complex questions. For example, SGE, still only a Search Labs feature, has already been used for billions of queries. We\u2019re excited to bring our Search teams together under her leadership.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Liz Reid. <\/strong>About three years ago, Reid was <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ointed to lead of core search experience by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Prabhakar_Raghavan\">Prabhakar Raghavan<\/a>. She will continue to report to Raghavan in her new role as head of Search.<\/p>\n<p>Reid joined Google in 2003. She is credited as one of the earliest pioneers of Google Maps and Local Search and helped Google redefine modern-day mapmaking with AI. Reid was also the first female engineer in the company\u2019s New York office.<\/p>\n<p>Specific to Search, Reid helped:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>With Google\u2019s multisearch.<\/li>\n<li>Make authentic, human voices more accessible.<\/li>\n<li>Change perspective filter to forums.<\/li>\n<li>Reimagine how people navigate and understand information with generative AI including Search Generative Experience. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Liz Reid posted on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/elizabeth-reid-56356724_today-im-taking-on-a-new-role-leading-search-activity-7175645922851262465-oYX6\/\">LinkedIn<\/a> saying, \u201cToday, I\u2019m taking on a new role leading Search, and am humbled by the opportunity to shape the future of this important product.\u201d You can read her full message over on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/posts\/elizabeth-reid-56356724_today-im-taking-on-a-new-role-leading-search-activity-7175645922851262465-oYX6\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cheenu Venkatachary<\/strong>. Venkatachary will lead the Google Search quality and ranking teams, taking over Nayak\u2019s role. Venkatachary originally worked at Google from May 2013 to December 2014, then left for a company that was acquired by Apple. He returned to Google in October 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pandu Nayak<\/strong>. Nayak is becoming Chief Scientist, Search, where he will continue to advise and focus on technical challenges in Search. Google told us that he will remain deeply involved in Google\u2019s broader efforts around content understanding, ranking and exploring how new AI technologies can enhance Google Search. <\/p>\n<p>Google credits Nayak as the foremost expert on algorithms, ranking and information systems. Nayak is Google\u2019s most recent inductee to the National Academy of Engineering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cathy Edwards<\/strong>. Edwards who led Google Apps, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>, Discover and ecosystem efforts in 2021, is moving back to Australia and will join the Long-term Bets team. Edwards, the co-founder of Chomp (which was acquired by Apple) will help incubate new product ideas in partnership with leaders across Knowledge and Information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why we care. <\/strong>How this may impact Google Search and overall search quality remains to be seen. Google often makes high-level changes with its executive teams, and people move on. I am sure there will be a lot of speculation on why these moves are being made but overall, it seems like really smart and respected individuals are filling in the roles of those who are moving to other roles within the company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"about-author\">\n    About the author<\/p>\n<div class=\"information\">\n<div class=\"author-module\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-3 text-center\">\n<div class=\"avatar\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid rounded-circle avatar-border\" alt=\"Barry Schwartz\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/images\/authors\/BarrySchwartz-lg.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid rounded-circle avatar-border\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/images\/authors\/BarrySchwartz-lg.jpg\" alt=\"Barry Schwartz\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\"><\/noscript>\n                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-9\">\n<div class=\"about\">\n<div class=\"name\">\n                            <strong>Barry Schwartz<\/strong>\n                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"row g-2 pt-2\">\n<div class=\"col-auto twitter\">\n                                    <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/follow?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fsearchengineland.com%2F&amp;region=follow_link&amp;screen_name=rustybrick&amp;tw_p=followbutton&amp;variant=2.0\" aria-label=\"opens in a new tab\"><i class=\"fab fa-x-twitter\"><\/i><\/a>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"col-auto\">\n                                    <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/rustybrick\" aria-label=\"opens in a new tab\"><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a>\n                                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                        Barry Schwartz is a Contributing Editor to Search Engine Land and a member of the programming team for SMX events.
