Today is the last day of Google as you know it
Today is the last day of Google as you know it Sundar Pichai will be CEO of Google... but not Alphabet. Google as you know it is about to change forever... ish. The Internet giant announced Friday that it expects to transition its stock from "Google Inc" to "Alphabet" at the end of the business day, marking the official start of the next era of Google as part of a larger holding company. The company first announced in August that it would create a new parent company called Alphabet, a move that some took to be a joke at first. Under the arrangement, Google will be just one — albeit by far the largest — of a suite of independent businesses operating under the Alphabet umbrella. Versions of this corporate reorganization had been discussed internally for at least four years, according to multiple Google insiders. The goal: to free Google cofounder and CEO Larry Page up from running the business day-to-day so he could brainstorm the next Google. &q
