>Google was founded on September 4, 1998

Maybe she was an early employee?

I think k8sToGo's point is that she never "joined Alphabet", Alphabet did not exist when she joined Larry and Sergey. She joined concurrent with Google's founding as a company, she probably joined when the search engine was named Backrub. Alphabet would be created decades later.
Exactly. But I guess people don’t care about accuracy anymore.
If I'm not mistaken she was Sergei's girl friend back then or maybe it was her sister. Not sure but I remember his first wife had this last name.
Anne, sister, founded 23andme.
Google is that old, Alphabet isn't.
Splitting hairs. "Joined the entity that would later become <a part of> Alphabet", big deal.
You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.
