“Sundar has been doing a great job as Google’s CEO, driving strong growth, partnerships, and tremendous product innovation,” Page said in a statement. “I really enjoy working with him and I’m excited that he is joining the Alphabet board.”

Pichai joined Google in 2004 and became the search giant’s CEO in August 2015 when the company created its Alphabet holding company. Besides Google, Alphabet’s portfolio includes several businesses like the self-driving car company Waymo, home automation company Nest, and the artificial intelligence specialist DeepMind.

At Google, Pichai oversees all of the company’s various initiatives from the core advertising business to its Android mobile operating system.
