Sridhar Ramaswamy, Google head of ads and commerceWith today’s news that Google ads veteran Susan Wojcicki has is now heading YouTube, Google tells Search Engine Land that Sridhar Ramaswamy will lead the ads and commerce team.

Ramaswamy and Wojcicki, who’ve both shared the title of SVP, Ads & Commerce, have been jointly running the ads division for the last year. The transition from being co-leader to sole leader of the team should be a smooth one for Ramaswamy.
