Abhinav Rastogi has been promoted to the role of Global Marketing Director for YouTube Shopping, starting February 2026. He shared the news of his elevation through a LinkedIn post.

In this role, he will be leading global marketing for YouTube Shopping, a three-sided marketplace connecting creators, viewers, and merchants. Working towards a world where there is a shop behind every video on YouTube.

“A month ago, I stepped into a new role as the Global Marketing Director for YouTube Shopping. I have been sitting with it for a few weeks before writing this, partly because I wanted to feel settled in, and partly because I wanted to say something worth reading rather than just announcing”, the LinkedIn post read.

Rastogi has been associated with Google for over 12 years. Prior to his elevation, Rastogi was Director of Marketing, YouTube Asia Pacific, where he led creator marketing, shopping expansion across APAC, and YouTube's brand and reputation work in the region.

Before Google, he worked as a management consultant at BCG and Kearney, advising technology companies across India, Hong Kong, Australia, and the US.
