The Fight for Internet Freedom
Stanford CDDRL Seminar Series
SPEAKER
David C. Drummond - Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and Chief
Legal Officer at Google, Inc
ABSTRACT
The Internet makes lives better, around the world, in ways people couldn't have
imagined not even a decade ago. It sparks prosperity, inspires dissent,
improves education, and encourages freedom. But all of the good it does is
under threat, largely from governments. He will discuss where those threats are
coming from, and the critical importance for us all that we overcome them.
David Drummond joined Google in 2002, initially as vice president of corporate
development. Today as senior vice president and chief legal officer, he leads
Google’s global teams for legal, government relations, corporate development
(M&A and investment projects) and new business development (strategic
partnerships and licensing opportunities).
David was first introduced to Google in 1998 as a partner in the corporate
transactions group at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich and Rosati, one of the nation’s
leading law firms representing technology businesses. He served as Google’s
first outside counsel and worked with Larry Page and Sergey Brin to incorporate
the company and secure its initial rounds of financing. During his tenure at
Wilson Sonsini, David worked with a wide variety of technology companies to
help them manage complex transactions such as mergers, acquisitions and initial
public offerings.
