"We have had many successes but I equally take accountability for the challenges we have today"

"Susan has been my inspiration and mentor since I was born"

"It was devastating news when she was diagnosed in 2022 and its still a shock to believe my vibrant, passionate, loving sister is gone"

"Whether youre in a relationship or not should not dictate whether or not you have the ability to have children,Wojcicki told Forbes. Im very stubborn. When theres something I want to do, I get it done"

"If I am fortunate enough to secure the company’s assets through the restructuring process, I remain committed to our long-term vision of being a global leader in genetics and establishing genetics as a fundamental part of healthcare ecosystems worldwide"

"There is no doubt that the challenges faced by 23andMe through an evolving business model have been real, but my belief in the company and its future is unwavering"

"My mom is utterly the believer. Like, she can get anything done"

"She had a real fighter mentality growing up, and I feel that was how we were raised…My mom’s like, ‘Listen, a lot of really bad stuff happened in my life. You either let that control you, or you make the rest of your life great"

"You’re only a viable fetus once you have your PhD"

"We were raised to not shy away from conflict. That quality has helped me focus on what I believe is the right thing to do and manage the conflict and criticism that has come our way"

"Balance the workforce: Hire one man for every woman, and balance it across positions of management. The only way to really drive change is to have diversity represented"

"My third employee was a professor, who had a huge background in ethics, Wojcicki said. Weve always focused on how are we going to consent people appropriately"
