Greene, 56, will also serve on Google board's audit committee, the company said.

Greene will become the 10th member of Google's board, filling a spot left vacant when former Genentech CEO Arthur Levinson resigned in 2009.

Levinson, who is also a director at Apple, resigned after federal regulators began looking into the "interlocking directorates" between the two companies.

Greene, who co-founded VMware in 1998, served as the company's CEO from 1998 to 2008. She also is a member of Intuit's board of directors.
