Google Promotes Paul Healy to Head of Global YouTube Creator Ad Solutions

Google has promoted Paul Healy to Head of Global YouTube Creator Ad Solutions, expanding his responsibilities within the company’s advertising organization and its work across the YouTube creator ecosystem.

Healy has spent more than a decade at Google in roles spanning media, marketing, technology, and digital advertising. His experience includes working with YouTube and Search products and supporting teams that work with advertisers and partners across international markets. His public profile identifies him as a leader across media, marketing, and technology.

The new role places Healy within an area of Google’s advertising business focused on the relationship between YouTube creators and advertising solutions. Creator-led content has become an increasingly important part of the digital advertising landscape, giving marketers additional ways to connect campaigns with audiences through video and creator communities.

Healy’s previous responsibilities at Google have included work across YouTube and Search advertising. He has also been involved in building teams supporting major brands across EMEA, with a focus on digital marketing and Google's advertising products.

The promotion comes as the creator economy continues to develop alongside the broader digital video advertising market. Advertisers are increasingly evaluating creator partnerships not only as a content channel but also as part of broader media and audience strategies.

For platforms such as YouTube, this creates a need to connect creator content with advertising systems while maintaining relationships between creators, advertisers, agencies, and technology teams. Creator monetization and advertising solutions therefore remain closely connected as the platform expands its commercial ecosystem.

Healy’s expanded remit places him at the intersection of these areas. His background across media, marketing, technology, YouTube, and Search gives him experience across several parts of Google’s advertising business.

The move also reflects the increasing specialization of leadership roles around creator advertising as brands look to incorporate creator-led video into broader digital marketing and media strategies.
