Top Google execs fly to SXSW in private plane

Eric Schmidt’s top Google lieutenants arrived in Austin, Texas, for SXSW in style.

Google Ideas director Jared Cohen and chief of staff Daniel Keyserling, flew in on a private Google jet, according to tech blog Valleywag.

Schmidt and Cohen, whose Ideas division serves as a “think tank” for tech research, last year co-authored the book “The New Digital Age.”

Also aboard Air Google was Ruzwana Bashir, the CEO of the upcoming travel web site Peek.

Both Schmidt and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey have invested in Peek, and the company announced another $5 million in funding last week.

Bashir, who has a Harvard MBA, is a tech darling, having worked at Gilt Groupe before founding Peek in 2012.
