Crain’s Chicago Business magazine profiled Sam Sebastian in its latest edition.

Sebastian is director of classifieds at Google. He’s also director of local b-to-b advertising. Before that, he led real estate at Chicago-based Classified Ventures.

So what’s it like working for Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page?  Here’s a glimpse from Sam: “They’re on their BlackBerry or laptop the whole time, but they’re listening,” he told Crain’s. “They jump in without lifting their heads . . . and pick out the one area in a presentation you haven’t spent as much time on and show you why it’s important to go back and do some more work.”
