Ruth Porat, Google's financial compass
He instilled Wall Street financial discipline in the tech giant to make it a more attractive company for shareholders. Previously, at Morgan Stanley, he played a key role during the financial crisis.
Ruth Porat, president and chief investment officer of Alphabet, rejects the concept of work-life balance, instead advocating for the integration of work and private life. She has exemplified this philosophy throughout her career, including responding to work calls from the delivery room when her first child was born in 1992. Porat played a crucial role as chief financial officer of Morgan Stanley during the 2008 financial crisis and later imposed financial discipline at Google, which has seen a 24% annual return on its shares since her arrival in 2015.
She has been recognized as one of the most highly valued executives in the US and was considered by President Barack Obama for the position of Secretary of the Treasury. Porat has had a long and successful career, starting at Morgan Stanley in 1987 and working her way up to become one of the most powerful women on Wall Street.
