Mimi Underwood

Mimi Underwood is a seasoned senior leader who brings a wealth of experience executing projects in fast paced and highly technical areas. Her most recent role was in Google Labs where she led a team of program managers and data scientists who partnered with engineers, product managers, researchers, and executives to launch a variety of AI driven, cutting edge products and services that substantially closed the gap with competitors. 

As one of the key leads for Labs, she reported to the Engineering Vice President and was also his Chief of Staff. Leadership looked to Mimi to guide discussions on areas of investment: which areas needed more investment, which needed more time to discern, and which needed to pivot resources to more promising areas.

Working for Google for 18.5+ years across a variety of internal organisations, she developed a reputation for shepherding highly complex projects over the finish line and mentoring many rising leaders in the organisation.

Mimi lives in the Silicon Valley area of California with her husband and dog Leo.
