Catherine Ruggles is a Director of Software Engineering at Google and leads the Android Search App Team in London.[1][2] She began her career in the late 1970s working on a real-time operating system used to dispatch New York City fire engines.[3] From 1990 to 1997, she served as Director of Internal Development and Manager of Programming for the Peter Norton Group of Symantec, and in that role oversaw development of the Norton Commander, Norton Utilities, and Norton Antivirus products.[4] She later served as Chief Technical Officer for a variety of software startups, including Prospect Research, Enfish, WebPutty, Sofistry, and Orlin Research.[4][5] In the early 2000s, she oversaw the redesign of the software infrastructure for IPUMS, the world's largest population database.[6] According to James Beldock, Director of Product, AI, and Developer Tools at Meta, "Catherine remains, quite simply, the single best software development executive with whom I've ever had the pleasure of working. Combine deep experience, preternatural management skills, a dash of coding rockstar in her own right, and an unfailingly pleasant personality, and you've got Catherine."[7]
