Susan Wojcicki now has her own official Barbie doll.
The former YouTube CEO is one of seven women tapped by Mattel to have one-of-a-kind Barbie dolls made in their likenesses to celebrate women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
The dolls’ reveal was timed with International Women’s Day, March 8.

Wojcicki’s sisters Anne Wojcicki (the founder and CEO of 23andME) and Janet Wojcicki (a professor of pediatrics and epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco) also have their own dolls in the collection, along with Katya Echazarreta (a Mexican electrical engineer and science show host), Maggie Aderin-Pocock (a British space scientist/educator), Antje Boetius (a German marine biologist), and Yinuo Li (the co-founder of ETU Education).
“Growing up, I didn’t imagine that I would have a career in tech,” Susan said in a statement. “My sisters and I found jobs we love and discovered how creative and fulfilling careers in STEM can be for women. I spent nearly 25 years working at Google and nine years as the CEO of YouTube, and it was an incredible experience.”
She added, “I hope Barbie’s International Women’s Day celebration will remind girls around the world that they can do anything.”
All seven women will be featured in a special episode of Barbie’s digital You Can Be Anything series hosted by Anne Wojcicki. Susan also filmed a YouTube Short tied to the series where she answers five questions about her time working in STEM. You can see that Short below:
