About Luiz Barroso
Luiz André Barroso was a Brazilian computer engineer who pioneered the design of the modern data center. Barroso spent more than two decades at Google, rising to the position of Vice President of Engineering in the Core and Maps teams, and as a technical leader in areas such as Google Search and the design of Google’s computing platform.

Barroso, who grew up in a diverse community, was a strong supporter of equal opportunity for everyone and observed that his most effective teams included members from various backgrounds. He was a role model for numerous computer scientists and recruited many women and other individuals from historically underrepresented communities in tech who subsequently made strong contributions to the field.
