San Francisco - Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will step down as CEO and president, respectively, of Alphabet, the internet giant's parent company announced Tuesday. Google chief Sundar Pichai will also take over as CEO of Alphabet. Page and Brin will remain on the company's board of directors. The president's role at Alphabet will not be filled.
Main Idea: Larry Page and Sergey Brin are stepping down from their top leadership roles at Alphabet, while Sundar Pichai will now lead both Alphabet and Google.
Key Points:
Alphabet’s leadership shift could keep power and influence concentrated in one huge tech company, which may leave consumers and small businesses facing the same search and ad market risks.
Sundar Pichai may bring steadier management, which could help keep Google services reliable for users and workers.
