Inside the Moonshot Factory: Leadership Lessons from Google X COO Helen Riley

In this episode of Aon at the Top, I sit down with Helen Riley, COO and CFO at Google X (the moonshot factory), to explore her unconventional journey from studying philosophy at Oxford to leading one of the world's most ambitious innovation engines. We dive into how disciplined financial rigor enables radical experimentation, why most moonshots fail (and why that's the point), and the leadership lessons she learned from terrible feedback early in her Google career.
