These are the former high-ranking Google execs who have been accused of sexual misconduct

The New York Times reported in October 2018 that then-senior VP of search operations Amit Singhal groped an employee at a 2015 "boozy off-site event attended by dozens of colleagues." Google told the Times that Singhal was found to be drunk, and though there were no witnesses, they found the employee's claim to be credible.

In 2016 Singhal announced that he would be leaving Google; the Times cited a blog post by Singhal that attributed his departure to a desire to focus on family and philanthropy. He was hired by Uber in 2017 to be the company's SVP for engineering, according to the Times. Uber swiftly dismissed Singhal, less than one month after hiring him, for failing to disclose the alleged sexual harassment at Google, also according to the Times.

Business Insider obtained a lawsuit in March 2019 with a complaint stating that Google gave Singhal a $45 million exit package (though he ultimately only received $15 million because he joined Uber, which violated the non-compete agreement of his exit package).

Richard DeVaul, a former Alphabet X director, left the company following a sexual misconduct allegation of a 2013 incident that came to light in 2018.

The New York Times reported in October 2018 that Richard DeVaul interviewed hardware engineer Star Simpson for a job in 2013; during the interview, he disclosed to Simpson that he and his wife were polyamorous. He then invited Simpson to Burning Man, the annual arts festival in the middle of the Nevada desert beloved by tech moguls.

Simpson viewed the invitation as "an opportunity to talk to Mr. DeVaul about the job," according to the Times, and she went. At the festival, DeVaul requested that Simpson remove her shirt and suggested that he rub her back. Simpson refused but allowed him to rub her neck.

Simpson was not hired at Google. She reported the Burning Man encounter to Google two years later; Simpson conveyed to the Times that a human resources official told her to stay quiet (Google disputed that claim). In a statement provided to the Times, DeVaul called the event an "error of judgement" and disclosed that he thought Simpson had been told she was not being hired by Google before Burning Man.

DeVaul left Google one week after the Times report was published. He exited without a severance package, according to Axios.

DeVaul founded Bay Area consulting firm Hypersolve in 2018, and is currently working as its executive innovation consultant, according ot his LinkedIn profile.
