Even though it was a start-up with fewer than 20 people, and I was pregnant with my first child, the best decision I've ever made was to join Google in 1999. Worst decision? Deciding to get a puppy and a bunny right when the baby came.

My most radical shift was leaving Intel and joining Google, a small startup at the time, even though I was pregnant.
