Anne Wojcicki, CEO of 23andMe , has submitted a proposal to take the genetic testing company private as its stock price continues to hover below $1. The proposed price of 40 cents per share reflects an 11% premium to 23andMe's closing stock price from April. 23andMe went public in 2021 via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, which valued the company at around $3.5 billion. In November, the company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, which said the company had 180 days to bring its share price back above $1. The Special Committee will need to approve or reject Wojcicki's proposal to take the company private, according to the filing Wednesday.

YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki is stepping down after nearly ten years at the helm. Under her leadership, the video platform cemented itself as a favorite of online creators. YouTube Shorts, the company's direct competitor to TikTok, recently surpassed 50 billion daily views and opened up monetization to creators. Still, under Wojcicki's tenure the video platform was rarely mentioned in discussions about the ills of social media, and the CEO was not regularly hauled in front of Congress like other tech leaders. Under Wojcicki's tenure, YouTube expanded monetization and released a slew of new ways to make money, like a merchandise shop.
☆ 'It's a huge concern': Senior-level women are calling it quits after decades climbing the career ladder
  + stars: | 2023-02-21 | by ( Jennifer Liu | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Some of the world's most powerful women are calling it quits. To give some context, for every woman stepping into a director-level leadership role, two are choosing to leave, says Alexis Krivkovich, McKinsey senior partner and an author of the joint Lean In and McKinsey "Women in the Workplace" report. The pattern has the potential to unwind decades of progress toward gender equity and increased female leadership in the workplace, she tells CNBC Make It. "They're meeting their goals and being successful, and some are choosing to leave before they get burned out," Workman adds. The problem remains that there are too few women in high levels of leadership, Krivkovich says: "Lots of men leave their positions, but we analyze and scrutinize when women leaders do in a different way.
☆ Esther Wojcicki raised 2 successful CEOs and a doctor—here's why she thinks good grades don't matter

The grades you got in school don't really matter, says educator and bestselling author Esther Wojcicki. "The number one way I think we need to [encourage creative students] is we need to cut the importance of grades." Wojcicki's decades of teaching high school taught her that good grades are overrated, and not a significant indicator of a child's future success. Yet they're an important factor in how the country's education system views students' success and determines their future opportunities, she said in Dubai. "Everybody is fighting for grades and those grades lead to college, and if you don't have those grades you cannot go," Wojcicki said.
