Larry page and sergey brin abandon alphabet

As you see in the title, Larry Page and Sergey Brin leave Alphabet to focus on other functions. We tell you all about this decision.

We learned of this news through a letter that Sundar emailed to Googlers. Apparently, Sundar will be the one to assume the figure of CEO of Google and Alphabet. In the case of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, they will be in charge of exercising other functions different from the ones they have assumed until now.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin's letter

For Larry Page and Sergey it was not easy to make this decision, but they chose the "role of parents", as they themselves affirm.

It has been a tremendous privilege to be involved in the day-to-day running of the company for so long, we believe that it is time to assume the role of proud parents

Thus began the letter that would announce the resignation of the previous positions held by the founders of Google. According to them, they do it because Alphabet, Google and Other Bets are working perfectly as independent companies. The time has come for them to simplify the structure of their administration.

They both think that there is a better way to run a company, and that happens by leaving the position of CEO of Google and Alphabet to Sundar Pichai. They make it clear that he will be the executive responsible who will be in charge of leading Google and managing all of Alphabet's investment.

They ensure that they are fully committed to Google and Alphabet for the long term. This means that they will continue to be members of the board, participating as shareholders and co-founders. Finally, in order not to leave suspicions, they make it clear that they will maintain a continuous relationship with Sundar regarding issues in which they share a common passion.

Sundar Pichai clarifies doubts

From minute 1, Sundar makes it clear that he is committed and excited about this challenge, assuming great responsibility. On the other hand, he assures that it is good news to continue working with Larry Page and Sergey Brin, even if it is in different roles. He also claims that they will be around him for advice or advice.

According to Sundar himself, Alphabet's structure will not be affected by the transition, nor will it change daily work. He ends by thanking the co-founders for the incredible opportunity they have given him, ensuring that he will not miss it at all.

This closes an era of leadership by Google co-founders, leaving the witness to Sundar Pichai. At first, it will seem strange not to see them, but we hope that Sundar maintains the level or even raises it even more. We are facing a very important time of transition at Google.

What do you think of the resignation of Larry Page and Sergey Brin? Do you think Sundar will do better?
