Meiling Tan

Head of Marketing at Waymo

Meiling Tan is Head of Marketing at Waymo, the Alphabet-backed company formerly known as the Google self-driving car project. Having spent over half a decade bringing the technology to market, Meiling has seen Waymo through numerous milestones: from the debut of Google’s first fully self-driving vehicle, to the establishment of Waymo as a standalone company and brand, and now the work to bring the company’s commercial self-driving technology and service to the public.

Meiling’s prior experience spans a range of technological products and services across X (the moonshot factory formerly known as Google[X]), Liftware (now a part of Verily), YouTube and Google. Her greatest expertise lies in bringing marketing strategy and creativity to emerging new technologies that often defy categorical definition.
