Melanie Silva Salary: It was just weeks ago that a major part of Melanie Silva’s team walked out as managing director of the Australia and New Zealand technology, media, and internet operations of Google. For the first time in its 20-year history, the workers of the company were very angry at its atmosphere because of its worker-friendly, domestic-looking office setting.
Globally organized demonstrations focused on how the organization handled senior managers accused of sexual assault, including one who earned a report of a US$90 million allowance in 2014, despite Google’s credible charges.
It was a baptism of fire for Silva, a more than ten year old Google Executive who was returned from Singapore to run the company after Jason Pellegrino had left for the Domain business of immobilities and services.
