Google CEO Larry Page reorganized the company into seven product-focused units. The team also includes the chief business, financial and legal officers, the head of infrastructure, and Sergey Brin.*
Knowledge (i.e., search)
SVP Alan Eustace
Google’s biggest business continues to perform well. In 2012, Google enhanced search with the Knowledge Graph, a database of hundreds of millions of objects.
Ad Products
SVP Susan Wojcicki
Thanks to products such as AdWords, AdSense, AdMob, and DoubleClick, Google became the world’s largest seller of advertising.
Chrome and Apps
SVP Sundar Pichai
Four-year-old Chrome is the No. 1 Internet browser, with some 35% of the desktop market. Apps such as Gmail are growing, with businesses paying for premium versions of the software.
Android
SVP Andy Rubin
Devices running on the Android platform now account for two-thirds of the smartphone market, and Android tablets are beginning to make inroads despite a paucity of apps for the devices.
GEO and Commerce
SVP Jeff Huber
Includes one of the broadest product portfolios, with major successes like Maps, and areas that are struggling to gain traction, like mobile payments (Google Wallet) and Offers.
Google+
SVP Vic Gundotra
The social network is woven into a variety of Google products, from Gmail to YouTube. Google reported 135 million “active” users, but skeptics say it lacks the impact of Twitter and Facebook.
