**"Twelve years down at Google and I'm still amazed by the incredible people and opportunity to serve billions of users. Grateful especially for the lifelong friendships I've gained. Thank you: 🌟 Sanjay Datta for opening my horizons for how strategy is drafted and teams are built 🌟 James Beser for taking a chance on me with a 20% PM role 🌟 Sameer Samat for encouraging me to take the biggest leap I could, to truly find my footing when i was leaving Google 🌟 Josh Woodward for trusting me to incubate a few ideas for the next billion users 🌟 Stavan Parikh for making me believe that anything is possible if you are a passionate owner 🌟 Sanaz Ahari Lemelson for introducing me to the world of Comms on Android 🌟 Jan Jedrzejowicz for teaching me how to do more with less 🌟 Jonathan Gonzalez for inspiring me with the coveted team culture of trust, rigor and ownership you establish around you #Google #Googleversary"**

On my second Googleversary the message below really got me thinking about how much I've learned over the past 2 years at Google. It also made me acknowledge how excited I am to shape the future. More recently, I've started working much closer to product and feel super energized by imagining the future and building a roadmap to get us there. " Hi Fernanda,  Happy Googleversary! We know how quickly each year flies by, so we encourage you to reflect on your impact and consider how you can help shape Google’s future."

Working in a company for 20 years, especially in the fast-paced tech environment of Silicon Valley, is a testament to the power of a strong company culture in keeping people motivated and consistently delivering outstanding products. My friend, Sumitran Raghunandan, shares his incredible journey of 20 years at Google in his blog titled “My Journey at Google: 2 Decades of Learning and Growth — Part 1.” I strongly believe we can all gain valuable insights from his experiences.

As I am nearing my 20 year tenure at Google, I wanted to relive the experience of being part of this great company and also share what I have learnt along the way. Hence I wrote my first article in medium.com. I hope this article is informative and thought provoking. Please share your comments and your experiences as well.
