Google anuncio en los pasados días sus ganancias del ato trimestre y aprovecharon para anunciar que Larry Page estará remplazando como CEO a Eric Schmidt, haciendo efectivo este cambio en Abril 4.
Larry Page, quien sirvió como CEO de Google desde el 1998 al 2001, estará asumiendo las operaciones del dia-a-dia, mientras que Schmidt asumirá el puesto de “Executive Chairman” de Google enfocando en manejar los negocios y asociaciones externas. Esto incluye tratos con otras compañías, gobiernos u otro tipo de acercamiento de cualquier interés que tenga algún colega para la industria.
“We’ve been talking about how best to simplify our management structure and speed up decision making for a long time,” Schmidt said in the statement. “By clarifying our individual roles we’ll create clearer responsibility and accountability at the top of the company. In my clear opinion, Larry is ready to lead and I’m excited about working with both him and Sergey for a long time to come.”
Larry Page añadió lo siguiente:
“Eric has clearly done an outstanding job leading Google for the last decade. The results speak for themselves. There is no other CEO in the world that could have kept such headstrong founders so deeply involved and still run the business so brilliantly. Eric is a tremendous leader and I have learned innumerable lessons from him. His advice and efforts will be invaluable to me as I start in this new role. Google still has such incredible opportunity — we are only at the beginning and I can’t wait to get started.”
Para culminar, Eric Schmidt nevi por su Twitter: “Day-to-day adult supervision no longer needed!”
