Anat Ashkenazi

Anat Ashkenazi serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Alphabet and Google, a role she assumed in 2024, making her one of the most powerful finance executives in the global technology and digital advertising industries. In this capacity, she oversees the financial operations of a company whose advertising business — spanning Search, YouTube, and the Google Network — generates the vast majority of Alphabet's hundreds of billions in annual revenue. Her appointment signaled Alphabet's intent to bring rigorous, operationally disciplined financial leadership to a company navigating increasing regulatory scrutiny, AI investment cycles, and evolving digital advertising market dynamics. Before joining Alphabet, Ashkenazi built an extensive career at Eli Lilly and Company, where she rose to become CFO and played a central role in managing the financial strategy of one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies during a period of significant growth and pipeline investment. Her background in managing large-scale capital allocation, investor relations, and complex global financial operations translated directly to the demands of Alphabet's sprawling business portfolio, which includes Google Services, Google Cloud, and Other Bets. As CFO of Alphabet, Ashkenazi is a key voice on earnings calls and at investor conferences — including the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference — where she addresses questions about advertising revenue trends, AI monetization, cost discipline, and capital returns. Her leadership is particularly consequential for the AdTech ecosystem, as Alphabet's decisions on ad product investment, privacy infrastructure, and competitive positioning shape the broader digital advertising landscape.
