Google CFO Patrick Pichette on being a Canadian in the Bay

Canadians are everywhere. It's true. We've run the International Space Station, we've won gold medals, play on most NHL hockey teams, have a strong contingent of all-star baseball players, are revered around the globe and, one actually controls the purse strings for the largest and most innovative Internet startup on the planet - Google.

Patrick Pichette is from Montreal and now makes his living as the Chief Financial Officer for Google. I was able to spend a few minutes with him to talk about his journey from Canada to the United States, his views on the opportunities that Canadians have in business, and even managed to snag some advice for wandering Canadians should they choose to head south and west to California.
