Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are stepping down.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Google cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have resigned, leaving their Alphabet positions to Sundar Pichai.<\/p>\n

Alphabet,\u00a0the holding firm overseeing the search giant and other well-known brands like YouTube, made the announcement Tuesday that\u00a0Page, Google\u00a0co-founder, will surrender his CEO role to Sundar Pichai, who has been leading Google for more than four years. He will\u00a0manage both Alphabet and Google under one role.<\/p>\n

Sergey\u00a0Brin<\/a>, who is also stepping down, and Larry Page, announced the news in a Google blog post Tuesday<\/a>, saying the company has “evolved and matured” in the two decades since its founding.<\/p>\n

A rough time for change<\/h1>\n

Engadget reports<\/a> that\u00a0Pichai is unlikely to toss out the existing formula. Alphabet will continue to rely heavily on search, cloud services, Android and Chrome, all the while branching out with more adventurous efforts like\u00a0Loon\u00a0and\u00a0Waymo. The management shake-up comes at a rough time. Google employees have accused their employer of\u00a0cracking down on worker organization<\/a>, taking a\u00a0lax attitude toward sexual harassment<\/a>\u00a0and otherwise being unresponsive to staff concerns. It’s also grappling with weighty issues like\u00a0political ad integrity<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0accusations of bias<\/a>. These problems aren’t going away now that Pichai has more power — he’ll just carry a heavier workload.<\/p>\n

Alphabet: A project that worked<\/h1>\n

According to The Verge<\/a>, since the creation of Alphabet in 2015, the launch was controversial, but the company\u2019s stock price has more than doubled ever since, as has the company\u2019s revenue. In its first quarterly earnings report since Alphabet\u2019s formation, the company reported sales of $18.7 billion. In its most recent quarterly earnings report, Alphabet reported sales of more than $36.3 billion.<\/p>\n

At the time of the announcement of Larry Page stepping down,\u00a0Alphabet shares rose less than 1% in extended trading on Tuesday, according to Bloomberg<\/a>. The stock closed at\u00a0$1,294.74<\/span>\u00a0in New York, leaving it up about 24% so far this year.<\/p>\n
