Google Co-Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin Are Stepping Down

The titans of Silicon Valley are leaving their roles as CEO and as president of Alphabet

Alphabet has announced that its CEO and its president, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, respectively, have stepped down from their roles and that Sundar Pichai, the current Google chief exec, will now also assume the role of CEO of parent company Alphabet.

The change is effective immediately although both will continue their involvement as co-founders, shareholders and members of Alphabet’s board of directors.

The pair co-founded Google in 1998 and steered the company toward becoming a household name in a journey that saw it dominate the online media business.
