Prior to Google, he started his own company Animorphic LLC in 1994 following the completion of his PhD in Computer Science at Stanford, and later worked as an Associate Professor at UC Santa Barbara and a consultant at Sun Microsystems.  Having watched Google grow from a tiny company to the megalithic enterprise it is today, Urs had a front row seat to the development of its culture, and played an active role in shaping it. Here's his advice for other scaling ventures: Culture eats strategy for breakfast: if you have the right culture, it doesn't matter if you have the right strategy from day 1, because sooner or later you will find it. Being in a team full of smart people who know how to contribute and how to contradict you means the right strategy naturally shapes itself. However, if you have the wrong culture, then the best strategy in the world wouldn't do much for you. Psychological safety: do the people in your team feel free to speak up and contradict those in positions of authority? When you're building a scaling venture, you're making decisions quickly: it's extremely unlikely that you're not making any wrong moves. You need these outspoken people as a safety net, and no one's outspoken if they think getting fired will be the sure consequence of speaking up.  Ask yourself “What does this potential hire add to the team?”: if you have too uniform a team, that team is not going to go nearly as far as one with different skill sets and perspectives. Similarly, you need to be certain that this potential hire is open to being corrected by someone else. It doesn't matter how smart they are — if they're not willing to grow, they won't be much of an addition. Memorable Quotes: "Right place, right time is not something you can force." "I think the #1 reason companies fail is not being mindful enough about scaling well." "Sometimes the most dangerous thing is to be the smartest person in the room, because it means you stop learning."

Sometimes small decisions are life changing. Urs Hölzle, a Swiss computer scientist, made such a decision without knowing when he became the 8th employee of Google back in the late 1990s. For the past two decades, he was responsible for building what might be the most impressive infrastructure ever created. You all know the services that run on the infrastructure Urs developed: Google Search, Gmail, YouTube, Google Drive, Google Maps, Google Cloud and many others. What makes Google's infrastructure impressive is the scale, complexity, and efficiency with which it operates. Google's data centers span multiple continents and are largely powered by renewable energy sources. The company uses advanced techniques, such as machine learning and AI, to optimize its data centers, reduce energy consumption and improve reliability. In this conversation, I talked to Urs about the early days of Google when it was not more than just a few people and computers in a garage in Silicon Valley. Also we discussed the hiring strategy as well as the learning and innovation culture that were crucial for Google's success. We also touched on Cloud computing, the reason why Europe is behind the US regarding digital innovation and what drives him as a human being.

Urs Häusermann und Chris Beyeler beschäftigen sich in unserem neuen Podcast mit dem Thema “Personal Branding”. Menschlichkeit ist im Marketing genauso wichtig wie in jeder anderen Berufsrichtung, aber wie macht man es richtig? Gibt es den richtigen Weg seine Eigenmarke aufzubauen?

Urs Hölzle ist der für die technische Infrastruktur zuständige Vorstand von Google und zugleich der dienstältester Mitarbeiter der Suchmaschine mit Ausnahme der beiden Gründer Larry Page und Sergey Brin. Er erklärt, wie die Datenzentren und Leitungen dem Ansturm in der Corona-Krise standhalten. Und was Googles Netzwerk von anderen unterscheidet, warum der Konzern nie nur auf ein Unterseekabel setzt, wie alles einst begann - und was die seiner Ansicht nach größte Herausforderung der nächsten Jahre sein wird.

Today, the IT Industry accounts for about 2 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, comparable to the footprint of air travel. Will IT emission eclipse air travel one day soon? Urs Hölzle thinks the clear answer is “no”: he says IT energy will decrease, and perhaps decrease significantly, over the next decade. Find out why. Hölzle is Senior Vice President of Technical Infrastructure & Google Fellow and oversees the design and operation of the servers, networks, and data centers that power Google's services, as well as the development of the software infrastructure used by Google’s applications.
