I don't think so, looking at the org chart for Ads and Commerce.

If you're trying to say someone working on Bigtable, Spanner, or other infrastructure is "direct related to advertising", I disagree. That infrastructure benefits all Google products, not just ads.

If I add up FTEs for Cloud, Search, Maps, Android, Chrome, Apps, Photos, etc is a several times multiple of those reporting to Ads related VPs.

No, I wasn't even including the general infrastructure stuff. I guess my view was warped by working in an ad-centric office.
