I represent Google and Nest to the Smarthome industry - making sure the vast array of smarthome products work seamlessly for Google Home users. I work with strategic partners to build bridges between ecosystems. I also am building out Pixel + Social partnerships, making sure Pixel sets the bar for social media user experiences.
As a Partner Engineering lead, I helped launch Stadia, Google's cloud gaming platform - with direct responsibility for the launch and quality of many AAA titles with our top partner, Ubisoft. I worked closely with cross-team leads to define roles, and build processes for Game Streaming partnerships from the ground up.
I worked as a Customer Engineer specializing in the Google Maps APIs and Cloud - building out solutions with the highest priority customers such as Tesla, Airbnb, Uber, Verizon, Expedia, Whatsapp, partnering with Sales to help close million dollar contracts. I also worked on emerging products like Smart Cities inights, and the Geo Gaming API.
(BD Leadership) - "Through her work on all aspects of [redacted] simply put, we wouldn't be as far along with the partnership now if it was not for her being on the team. Emily's technical ability, XFN working style/collaboration and proactivity is second to none.
(PM Leadership) - "Emily understands her areas deeply - more deeply than others - and is fearless about advocating for what she thinks is right for customers. Emily isn't afraid to tell truth to power, even when it's the unpopular thing to do. The work she has done advocating for fixing the [redacted] flows is the perfect example of this."
(2023 Assessment Feedback)
"Emily, I was blown away by how thorough and organized your approach to gathering input on the [redacted] Partnerships Playbook has been, particularly outside of your time zone.
- cross-functional, cross-regional information and requirements gathering - a well-written breakdown of the problem - leading meetings across each region to gather additional perspectives - organizing formal two-week sprints to maintain and measure velocity
Inspiring stuff - we're all going to have to take note for our own initiatives!"
-Account Manager, Google Immersive Stream for Games (2022)
"Emily has been amazing in helping us launch + land controlled access - from gathering feedback on the workflows earlier this year to now onboarding her partner's titles to pilot channels.
Thank you for taking the time to help Controlled Access to land at quality (especially given your other commitments)!
-Sr. Product Manager, Stadia (2021)
"Huge thanks to Emily for helping us deliver 5 "Getting started" videos for the [Google Maps] YouTube channel. She did not only agree to be the voice and face for the videos but she was also a great partner by helping correct and edit all scripts, provide feedback during production edition as well as create all the screencasts needed to help guide customers through the step by step instructions.
These videos will be key in helping onboard new customers via both 1:1 and 1:M channels as well as kick of our official presence in YouTube :)
Thanks a million!"
-Developer Relations, Google Maps Platform (2019)

Not only were you able to mitigate issues in real time and ensure a successful activation, but your willingness to help and ease with which you were able to get up to speed on the rapidly changing details embody the teamwork required for this org to succeed. The partner could not have been more appreciative for our participation and it would not have been possible without you."
