This exclusive package allows you and one guest to dine with Chade-Meng Tan, a true technology, business, and mindfulness visionary, and embark on a once in a lifetime tour of Google's Global Headquarters in Mountain View, CA with a Google employee to see what life is like behind the scenes at Google-- an opportunity that very few guests are allowed to experience.
Chade-Meng Tan (Meng) is a Google pioneer, an award-winning engineer, a New York Times bestselling author, a thought leader and a philanthropist whose work has received eight nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. He is also quite funny. Meng was one of Google’s earliest engineers. He helped build Google’s first mobile search service, headed the team that kept a vigilant eye on Google’s search quality, and was a founding member of Google’s Chinese Search team. After a successful eight-year stint in Engineering, Meng became the first practicing engineer in Google’s history to move from Engineering to People Operations. His job description was, “Enlighten minds, open hearts, create world peace”.
At Google, Meng also led the creation of a groundbreaking mindfulness-based emotional intelligence course called Search Inside Yourself, and his New York Times bestselling book, Search Inside Yourself has been endorsed by world leaders such as President Carter of the United States, business leaders such as Eric Schmidt of Google and John Mackey of Whole Foods Markets, and spiritual leaders such as the Dalai Lama and Deepak Chopra. Meng retired from Google in 2015, after 15+ years of service to dedicate himself toward creating a more peaceful world by working as the Chairman of the Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute and Chairman of One Billion Acts of Peace, which has been nominated eight times for the Nobel Peace Prize, and works with a team from Google and other partners to inspire everyday citizens, businesses, NGOs, cities and schools to change the world by taking action in their community.
This exclusive package allows you and one guest to join Meng for lunch at the famous "Googleplex" that includes more than 30 free restaurants on the Google campus. After lunch, a Google employee will be your host for a tour of the Quad with its game rooms, napping pods, outdoor volleyball courts, free coffee and snack stations, and innovative endless employee perks to get a taste for what it is like to work at the legendary Google Headquarters. After the tour, you and your guest can visit the Google merchandise store to purchase unique Google products.
The Google Global Headquarters in Mountain View, CA is considered the “Mothership,” and visits are normally reserved for big name visitors and partners. This is your opportunity to be one of the few to see how Google has become the incredibly innovative and unique company that it is today.
Special thanks to Chade-Meng Tan, the Chairman of the One Billion Acts of Peace campaign and The Points Guy’s Points for Peace campaign for making this auction possible!
