SUNDAR PICHAI
LIFETIME OF ACHIEVEMENT IN TECHNOLOGY
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has said , " I always loved technology growing up and I used to read about what was happening in Silicon Valley , and I wanted to be a part of it ."
Rarely in the world of technology can a childhood ambition have been fulfilled so completely .
Pichai only joined Google in 2004 , and went on to lead the development of Google Toolbar and then Google Chrome , which grew to become the world ’ s most popular internet browser .
In 2014 he was appointed to lead product and engineering for all of Google ’ s products and platforms – including popular products such as Search , Maps , Play , Android , Chrome , Gmail and Google Apps ( now GSuite ).
Following a short stint at the management consulting firm McKinsey , he joined Google in 2004 as Head of Product Management & Development .
His first project was the Google Toolbar , which gave Explorer and Firefox easy access to the Google search engine .
In the following years Pichai ’ s rise was remarkable . He was directly involved in the development of Chrome ( released in 2008 ) and that same year was named VP Product Development . It was in that role that he began to become a more prominent public figure .
By 2012 he was a SVP , and in 2014 was made the product chief of both Google and the Android smartphone operating system .
Pichai became Google ’ s CEO in August 2015 , and joined the Board
