“Like Elon Musk, he was coding at 12 and became one of Google’s youngest ever CMOs”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
No evidence directly links the individual to coding at 12 or Google's CMO role. Wikipedia entries for Lorraine Twohill (Google CMO) and CMOS/Street View provide unrelated context. Web results lack specific claims about the individual's age or career trajectory.
