Online advertising, search engine technology, cloud computing, computer software, quantum computing, e-commerce, artificial intelligence, and consumer electronics are the primary areas of focus for Google LLC, an American multinational technology company.
Due to its market dominance, data collection, and technological advantages in the field of artificial intelligence, it has been referred to as “the most powerful company in the world” and one of the most valuable brands worldwide. Along with Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, its parent company Alphabet is regarded as one of the Big Five American information technology companies.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google on September 4, 1998, while they were PhD students at Stanford University in California. Through super-voting stock, they control 56% of its stockholder voting power and own approximately 14% of its publicly traded shares. In 2004, an initial public offering (IPO) marked the company’s public debut.
As Alphabet’s largest subsidiary and a holding company for Alphabet’s Internet properties and interests, Google was reorganized in 2015 as a wholly owned subsidiary. On October 24, 2015, Sundar Pichai took over as CEO of Google, succeeding Larry Page, who left to become CEO of Alphabet. Pichai also became the CEO of Alphabet on December 3, 2019.
