Dan Fredinburg is a respected Executive of Google who headed the privacy for Google X and lead the management team, has being lost to death in the avalanche that occurred on mount Everest which was as a result of the disastrous earthquake of Nepal. This earthquake killed over 2,000 people in the area and devastated infrastructures.
Dan's sister confirmed his death on his Instagram account and Google's privacy editor Lawrence posted this “Dan Fredinburg, a long-time member of the Privacy organization in Mountain View, was in Nepal with three other Googlers, hiking Mount Everest. He has passed away. The other three Googlers with him are safe and we are working to get them home quickly.”
He added that Google’s Crisis Response team has launched Person Finder for Nepal, and “is working to get updated satellite imagery to aid in the recovery effort.
Some friends of Fredinburg have put up a Crowdrise allowing others to donate to causes he supported.
At RAR bloggers, we pass on our condolences to Dan's family and friends.
