Google co founder Larry Page announced a large scale restructuring of the company, by instituting SundarPichai as the new CEO, and shifting himself and co-founder Sergey Brin to a larger holding company called Alphabet. Google will be the largest subsidiary for Alphabet.
Page said that Pichai was the natural legitimate choice to lead Google.
Pichai “has really stepped up since October of last year, when he took on product and engineering responsibility for our internet businesses. Sergey and I have been super excited about his progress and dedication to the company,” Page said in a blog post.
“I feel very fortunate to have someone as talented as him to run the slightly slimmed down Google and this frees up time for me to continue to scale our aspirations. I have been spending quite a bit of time with Sundar, helping him and the company in any way I can, and I will of course continue to do that.”
Pichai, 43, previously served as a Vice- president of Product at Google.
