Timeline

1963

Andrew E.. Rubin born March 13, 1963 in Chappaqua is an American computer programmer, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist.

1977

He attended Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua, New York from 1977 until 1981 and was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science from Utica College, Utica, New York in 1986.

1989

Rubin was nicknamed "Android" by his co-workers at Apple in 1989 due to a love of robots, with the nickname eventually becoming the official name of the Android operating system.

Andy Rubin worked at Apple from 1989 to 1992 as a manufacturing engineer.

1992

Rubin joined General Magic in 1992.

He worked for developing Motorola Envoy as a lead engineer.

1999

Before Android Inc., Rubin also helped found Danger Inc. in 1999, another company involved in the mobile space; Rubin left Danger to work on Android in 2003, and Danger was eventually acquired by Microsoft in 2008.

2003

Rubin founded Android Inc. in 2003, which was acquired by Google in 2005; Rubin served as a Google vice president for 9 years and led Google's efforts in creating and promoting the Android operating system for mobile phones and other devices during most of his tenure.

2005

After Android was acquired by Google in 2005, Rubin became the company's senior vice president of mobile and digital content, where he oversaw development of Android, an open-source operating system for smartphones.

2013

On March 13, 2013, Larry Page announced in a blog post that Rubin had moved from the Android division to take on new projects at Google, with Sundar Pichai taking over Android.

In December 2013, Rubin started management of the robotics division of Google (including companies such as Boston Dynamics, which Google owned at the time).

According to The New York Times, while the departure was presented to the media as an amicable one where Rubin would spend more time on philanthropy and start-ups, CEO Larry Page personally asked for Rubin's resignation after a sexual harassment claim by an employee against Rubin was found to be credible during an investigation by Google; the employee, with whom Rubin had an extramarital relationship, accused him of coercing her into oral sex in a hotel room in 2013.

Rubin strongly disputed these reports and denied wrongdoing, stating, "these false allegations are part of a smear campaign to disparage me during a divorce and custody battle".

2014

Rubin left Google in 2014 after allegations of sexual misconduct, although it was presented as a voluntary departure rather than a dismissal at first.

On October 31, 2014, he left Google after nine years at the company to start a venture capital firm for technology startups.

2015

Rubin then served as co-founder and CEO of venture capital firm Playground Global from 2015–2019.

Rubin also helped found Essential Products in 2015, a mobile phone start-up that closed in 2020 without finding a buyer.

After being forced out of Google, Rubin founded Playground Global in 2015 along with Peter Barrett, Matt Hershenson and Bruce Leak.

The company is a venture capital firm and studio for technology start-ups, providing funding, resources, and mentorship.

In 2015, Playground Global raised a $300 million fund from investors including Google, HP, Foxconn, Redpoint Ventures, Seagate Technology and Tencent, among others.

It has invested in several companies such as Owl Labs.

2016

Google responded by sending a memo to employees saying no employees dismissed due to sexual harassment concerns after 2016 had received payouts.

2017

In November 2017, he took a leave of absence from Essential Products after reports of the inappropriate relationship from his time at Google surfaced.

In December 2017, he returned to Essential Products.

2018

In 2018, The New York Times published an article revealing the details of Rubin's 2014 departure from Google – i.e., that it had been forced rather than voluntary due to credible allegations he had sexually harassed female employees, and that Google had paid Rubin a $90 million severance package to expedite the process.

Google's large severance payment attracted significant controversy.

Rubin grew up in Chappaqua, New York as the son of a psychologist who later founded his own direct-marketing firm.

His father's firm created photographs of the latest electronic gadgets to be sent with credit card bills.

The incident, among others, led to the 2018 Google walkouts from Google's employee workforce over Rubin reportedly receiving a $90 million "exit package" to expedite his separation from the company.

Rubin and his ex-wife, Rie Hirabaru Rubin, owned and operated Voyageur du Temps, a bakery and cafe in Los Altos, California, which closed in September 2018.

2019

Rubin left Playground Global in May 2019.

Rubin eventually joined and helped create the Android phone start-up Essential Products.
