For nine years, the CFO role at Google and parent company Alphabet was held by Ruth Porat, who took a giant pay package in 2015 to leave Wall Street for Silicon Valley.
"But I think any organization can always push a little further and I'll be looking at additional opportunities."
During the Q&A portion of the call, Evercore ISI's Mark Mahaney asked, "As you're coming in looking at this fresh, is it clear to you there are a lot of newfound cost efficiencies or ongoing cost efficiencies?"
The new CFO said one way Google can find additional efficiencies is by using AI "within our own processes and how we get work done."
