Practice speaking about yourself, your work you've accomplished, and your style of leadership/problem solving. How do you interact with people etc. I've coached folks on similar roles and as much as prep is great, it's really how good your storytelling is.

M1, a good book I like is called pre-suasion. It's more sales oriented but it helps you look at what you say a bit differently. My advice is to have different people give you practice interviews with the job description

Be sure to go through the Google careers page. There are 4 areas for their interviews: general cognitive ability, leadership, role related knowledge, googleyness. There are some youtube videos about interviewing at Google that may be helpful.

Good luck with your interview!
