Alex Joseph, Head of Communications, Gemini app & Google Labs, has quit after more than a decade with the company. The news has been shared by Joseph in a LinkedIn update.

“After 13+ years, my chapter at Google has come to a close. I’m actually a “boomerang”—one of the fortunate few who got to work at Google twice in their career. Across both stints, I’ve made so many memories and been part of some incredible moments: from my earliest days on the Google+ launch team to my years at YouTube as the creator economy emerged and we built policies to support it. Along the way, I helped launch the inaugural Sustainability with Google event and later opened landmark NYC offices at Pier 57 and St. John’s Terminal. Most recently, I had the privilege of leading our Gemini & Google Labs Comms team as the Gemini app grew into Google’s newest billion-user product,” he wrote in a post.

Joseph has been with Google since July 2018, having joined as Policy Communications Manager for YouTube.

Before that, he was with letgo.
