How Yoky Matsuoka Of Google's Nest Helps You Save Money And Energy

&l;p&g;&l;img class=&q;wp-image-502 size-large&q; src=&q;http://blogs-images.forbes.com/kristinstoller/files/2018/06/Yoky-1-1200x800.jpg?width=960&q; alt=&q;&q; data-height=&q;800&q; data-width=&q;1200&q;&g; Yoky Matsuoka (center), CTO of Nest, speaks at the 2018 Forbes Women Summit.

Yoky Matsuoka&a;rsquo;s passion for smart devices started with a personal need. The semiprofessional tennis player dreamed of becoming pro but was sidelined by injuries. She vowed to keep pushing toward a tennis career by building a tennis robot buddy for herself.

Now the CTO of smart home device company Nest, Matsuoka looks fondly on her journey from tennis robot to energy- and money-saving thermostat.

&a;ldquo;Building a tennis buddy didn&a;rsquo;t seem like the right mission long-term,&a;rdquo; Matsuoka told &l;em&g;Forbes&l;/em&g; at Tuesday&a;rsquo;s Women&a;rsquo;s Summit. &a;ldquo;I wanted to see how I could really help society.&a;rdquo;

And she has. Since joining Nest in 2010 (when the company was formed), she&a;rsquo;s helped consumers save about 10% on their electricity and gas bills, which equates to about $100 per year. With Nest thermostats retailing for $150 to $250, she says, consumers can make a lot more money than what their device&a;nbsp;cost in five to seven years.

Matsuoka, 46, says her career at Nest began after a former student, Matt Rogers, approached her with an idea to build a smart thermostat. She taught Rogers, Nest&a;rsquo;s cofounder, during her nine years teaching at Carnegie Mellon in the early 2000s.

Rogers and the company made headlines earlier this year after a merger with Google&a;rsquo;s hardware team was announced. Shortly after, Rogers announced his departure from the company, saying he wanted to spend more time at Incite.org, a venture firm and lab he cofounded. Nest was initially acquired by Google for $3.2 billion in 2014, but had been operating as a stand-alone Alphabet company for the past three years. Matsuoka says the Google merger is a positive: now they can work to more readily integrate Nest products into Google Home assistants.

Since launching its signature thermostat in October 2011, Nest has saved 23 billion kilowatt hours of energy, Matsuoka says&a;mdash;enough to power an electric bike for every dad in America for 16,000 miles.

&a;ldquo;I&a;rsquo;m quite mission driven, and I really like to take care of people inside homes,&a;rdquo; she says. &a;ldquo;Our Nest mission is to take care of people inside the home and the world around it. We are working really hard to utilize the devices and sensors that are already in people&a;rsquo;s homes to start to care for people.&a;rdquo;

For example, 15% of Nest&a;rsquo;s cameras&a;mdash;designed for indoor and outdoor security&a;mdash;are being used instead for baby care, Matsuoka says. Some even use the company&a;rsquo;s smoke detector as a way to check in on their elderly parents.

Historically, Nest&a;rsquo;s high-priced signature Learning Thermostat was mainly used by households that earned more than $100,000, Matsuoka says. Now, it&a;nbsp;has released the lower-cost Nest Thermostat E, retailing for about $150. But energy usage is an even bigger problem for lower-income households, she says, which is why Nest launched &l;a href=&q;https://nestpowerproject.withgoogle.com/&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;Power Project&l;/a&g; in April.

The company has promised to install one million of its thermostats in homes that need them most over the next five years in collaboration with energy companies, housing agencies like Fannie Mae and other nonprofit organizations that will receive special pricing on the Nest Thermostat E so they can be given to eligible households at little or no cost. According to the company, experts say energy bills shouldn&a;rsquo;t exceed 6% of income. But many Americans spend 20% to 50%.

&a;ldquo;One of the things that really stands out and I live by is we put consumers first,&a;rdquo; she says. &q;We absolutely make sure we understand consumers&a;rsquo; pain points and we customize the experience to put that first above anything else, even above saving energy. Once we start from there, we have something people cannot live without.&a;rdquo;
