LAWRENCE EDWARD 

(Co-founding Google with Sergey Brin)

Larry Page, by the name of Lawrence Edward Page (born March 26, 1973, in East Lansing, Michigan, U.S.), is an American computer scientist and entrepreneur who, with Sergey Brin, created the online search engine Google, one of the most popular sites on the Internet. His father, who was a professor of computer science at Michigan State University, received a computer engineering degree from the University of Michigan in 1995. He stepped down as CEO in 2001 to become president of products. He was replaced as CEO by technology executive Eric Schmidt. 

However, both he and Brin remained confidentially involved in running Google. By 2004, the search engine was being utilized 200 million times a day. On August 19, 2004, Google Inc. issued its initial public offering (IPO), which netted Page more than $3.8 billion. In an achievement reflecting the company’s efforts to expand its services beyond Internet searches, Google purchased in 2006 the most popular Web site for user-submitted streaming videos, YouTube, for $1.65 billion in stock. In 2011, Page resumed his duties as Google’s CEO, with Schmidt having moved to the position of executive chairman. Google was restructured in August 2015 as a subsidiary of the newly created holding company Alphabet Inc., and Page became CEO of Alphabet. Page left that post in December 2019 but continued to serve on Alphabet’s board of directors.
