What was your role at Google X?
At Google XI was Chief Business Officer. Big title if you want, but my real job description was to take some incredible innovations that were supposed to change the world, make the world better, and actually land them in the real world. When you allow innovators to go crazy, sometimes they build things that are not perfectly fit with the world that we live in, and sort of working with them as well as working with the world to accept what they were building was really what my job is.
