Eric Schmidt: He leaves the Alphabet Board

After 18 years with Google, former CEO Eric Schmidt is leaving the board of directors of Alphabet's parent company.

Schmidt took over as chairman of Google's board of directors at 2001, before online advertising became the new company's main revenue stream. Google at this stage had not even announced a profitable quarter.Eric Schmidt

Schmidt will not seek his re-election on the board of Alphabet after the end of his term in 19 June, announced yesterday Alphabet, as there are concerns about the company's shares as the revenues from the ads is slowing down, according to CNBC.

The anti-dumping fine of the European Commission (1,7 billion dollars) also hurt the company's profits this quarter.

Eric Schmidt will continue as a technical advisor to the Alphabet. Let's remind him that he served as CEO of Google from 2001 to 2011 when he was a co-founder of Google Larry Page but he remained as an executive president and was often the public face of Google.

Schmidt resigned as Executive Chairman in January of 2018.

As the Financial Times reported, Eric Schmidt has sold 70 percent of the shares he owned in Google when it went public in 2014, and the remaining 30 percent is worth around $5 billion. dollars.

Diane Greene, its former CEO; που προσχώρησε στην της Google το 2015 για να ηγηθεί της επιχείρησής της στο Cloud, δεν θα επιδιώξει την επανεκλογή της στο συμβούλιο της Alphabet, όταν λήξει η θητεία της στις 19 Ιουνίου. Η Greene ήταν στο διοικητικό συμβούλιο της Alphabet από το 2012 και αντικαταστάθηκε από επικεφαλής της Google Cloud νωρίτερα φέτος από τον πρώην exec της Oracle Thomas Kurian.

So until now there is no one who seems to be seeking the position, but the Board does not seem to have decided to address.
