Neal Mohan (born July 14, 1973[1][2]) is an American business executive who is the current chief executive officer of YouTube.[3][4]

Mohan was born in Lafayette, Indiana.[2] He spent most of his childhood growing up in the United States before moving to India with his family in 1985.[5] In 1992, he moved back to the U.S. and attended Stanford University. He majored in electrical engineering and graduated in 1996.[6] Mohan started working at Accenture, before joining a startup called NetGravity. He swiftly became a prominent figure within the company.

After returning to Stanford in 2003 to pursue his MBA, NetGravity's parent company, DoubleClick, which had acquired the company in 1997, began to undergo serious issues stemming from another 1999 acquisition of Abacus Direct; this ultimately led to the merger being effectively annulled. Mohan was enlisted by David Rosenblatt, who had become DoubleClick's new CEO in the wake of the split, to work at the company in 2005. Together, they reoriented the company, devising a plan said to still have an influence on Google's operations.

DoubleClick was acquired by Google in 2007, an acquisition largely oriented by Google executive Susan Wojcicki. She and Mohan extensively worked together for the next fifteen years. In 2015, Mohan became CPO of YouTube, which Wojcicki headed as CEO. Throughout the late 2010s and early 2020s, he spearheaded much of the company's ventures, such as YouTube TV, YouTube Music, YouTube Premium, and YouTube Shorts. Upon Wojcicki's resignation in February 2023, he succeeded her as CEO of YouTube.
