KR Liu — CEO
Great innovation isn’t an afterthought. It’s the entire point. I’ve spent my career making the invisible, visible—and making the inaccessible, iconic. As the Global Head of Product Innovation & Marketing at Google, I sit at the exact point where emerging tech meets global culture. I don’t just want to know what the next AI trend is; I want to shape how it actually looks, feels, and moves through the world. My formula is simple: build the things people didn’t know they needed, for the people the industry forgot to ask. Whether it’s architecting the legislation behind the historic Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act or driving the development of seamless, AI-powered tools like Expressive Captions, I believe the best products don't just function—they elevate the human experience. Beyond the product pipeline, I’m invested in the cultural zeitgeist. As the 2025 Cannes Lions Jury President for Glass: The Lion for Change, I look for the boldest, most unapologetic brand storytelling on the planet. I want to see work that shifts the paradigm and leaves a mark. I served on several national boards and policy committees, and my work has been recognized with a U.S. Congressional Award, a Glass: Lion for Change Jury Presidency at Cannes Lions, and honors from ADWEEK, Campaign, and Women We Admire. In 2024 I was named Women We Admire Top Women Leaders Honoree, featured on the cover issue of ADWEEK in March 2023, AdAge 2022 Leading Woman honoree, Campaign 40 Over 40, 2021 ADWEEK Creative 100 Honoree, a 2020 ADCOLOR Rockstar Award Nominee, and one of the 2019 top 50 Future Female Leaders by Yahoo! Finance. My mission remains the same: build with purpose, lead with care, and create the conditions for others to rise.
