Matt Teper

Matt Teper is the Editorial Director at Google, where he is the leader and cofounder of the Google Ink editorial team. The team is responsible for defining and refining the Google voice on all of Google’s primary content platforms, including the Keyword blog and our brand social channels, as well all manner of creative and editorial work. Matt came to Google in 2012, from the White House, where he served as then-Vice President Joe Biden's chief speechwriter for the first three-plus years of the Obama administration. He has no plans to go back to Washington, but he wishes his former boss well in his new job. For Matt’s next job, he hopes to become the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. He has a bachelor’s of journalism degree from the University of Texas and a JD from the University of Wisconsin. Matt lives in Palo Alto with his wife Jaime, daughters Devin and Peri, and a truly ridiculous mutt named Mona.
