Career
Schindler made a name for himself in the tech industry during the 1990s when he became head of marketing at AOL. In 2005 Google hired him to run their German division. In 2012 he became Vice President of Global Sales and Operations. Today he is a Senior Vice President and Chief Business Officer. Sales and operations have little influence over search, so Schindler is not a priority to us.
