Reshma Patel is a senior product management leader at Google Ads, where she oversees product strategy for core advertising products and plays a central role in Google's privacy-focused advertising initiatives. Her work on Privacy Sandbox — Google's framework for replacing third-party cookies with privacy-preserving alternatives — positions her at the intersection of one of AdTech's most consequential transitions in decades. Patel's career reflects a deep focus on large-scale advertising platforms and the technical and policy challenges that come with them. Her tenure at Google has spanned periods of significant industry change, including the deprecation of third-party cookies, evolving data privacy regulations, and the industry-wide push toward cookieless measurement and targeting solutions. As a product leader in one of the world's most influential advertising ecosystems, Patel's decisions carry broad implications for publishers, advertisers, and the broader programmatic supply chain. Her work on privacy-preserving ad technology places her among a small group of operators actively defining what post-cookie advertising infrastructure will look like.
