Larry Page, co-founder of Google with the dream of using technology to change the world

In the summer of 2015, Google announced a restructuring plan and established a parent company called Alphabet. Accordingly, Alphabet will manage all of its businesses. Google continues to focus on products for the Internet. Sundar Pichai vice president of products became Google CEO. Two co-founders of the world's largest search engine, Larry Page and Sergey Prin, took the position of CEO and president of Alphabet respectively.

Restructuring is a bold step that surprised the world community. But they all follow the dream that co-founder Larry Page constantly pursues from childhood: using technology to change the world. And only Alphabet with a new unlimited vision is big enough to continue the path that this man has outlined.

Larry Page is one of the most influential people in the technology world. Page was attributed to the IT nickname 'weird computer science guy'. In 2017, he was included in the list of the richest people on the planet with an enormous wealth of 52.2 billion USD.

Larry Page full name is Lawrence Edward Page. He was born on March 26, 1973 in a family where both parents were lecturers of computer science at the University of Michigan, USA, with a house filled with computers and technology magazines, this fascinated. little boy Larry right from childhood.

With his passion, the Page family guided him to Montessori. This is a very famous school for independent study programs, promoting creativity as well as independent thinking for students. This has greatly affected the attitude and working style of Google founders later.

At the age of 12, Page began to learn about the biography of the famous genius inventor Nikola Tesla, but was destitute, he died and left heavy debts. It was this sad ending that was the driving force for Page boy to build technology projects to change the world.

Maybe many people do not know, besides the interest in technology, Page is also a very skilled saxophone player. Thanks to music that helped Google CEO create high-speed achievements of Google.

While he was still studying at the University of Michigan, Page began to develop the idea of ​​building a personal transportation system at the school to replace the bus. He did not like to wait for the bus, sometimes he was late and sometimes it rained. Although he has never built it, he still haunts how we move. Therefore, he decided to join the solar car development team, and suggested that Michigan build a "personal transportation system".

After graduating from the University of Michigan, he continued to study for a Ph.D. at Stanford. At this school, he met Sergey Brin. The two people in tune with technology interests quickly became close friends and later founders of great works.

In September 1997 Page and Brin registered the domain of Google.com with the ambition of containing all the information in the world. Both Page and Brin are 'burners'. A few years after they designed the first Google Doodle to let everyone know they won't be able to fix it when Google happens. Because they were invited to the Nevada desert to attend the Burning Man festival.

Page admits he has the strength to give an idea for a bigger picture than to manage, in part because he doesn't like to deal with people. As a leader, he always focuses on results and is attracted to ambitious ideas.

Page runs Google as CEO since 2001, when Eric Schmidt was put into the company's leadership department with the title of 'supervisor'. Brin and Page are cautious when deciding on candidates to become CEO of the company. But knowing that Schimidt came from a programmer and a "burner" genuine, at least two factors also showed Schmidt's relevance to Google culture.

At first, Page felt unhappy when he had to divide his power to Schmidt, but then he was happy because he had to attend the company's daily internal meetings.

In 2007, he still felt that he spent too much time for the meeting, he gave everything to his assistant.

While Page is still directly involved in Google projects. Under the threat of iPhone, Apple, he directed the acquisition and merger of Andy Rubin's Android company without telling Schmidt until everything went well.

But after 10 years of absence, in 2011 Page decided to return to the CEO chair. Thanks to its ingenious management at the end of 2012, the company launched a series of popular Google+ products, the first Chromebook laptop, Google Glass glasses, high-speed Internet fiber service and many other products.

He continued to drive Google until 2015, when the company had the largest restructuring ever, Page became CEO of the Alphabet family.

In a Page letter to the entire staff about the announcement of becoming CEO of Alphabet 'Along with the long-term vision, people will work together to achieve greater ambitions. Improve the lives of more people as we have done before. '

In December 2007, after dating Marrisa Mayer, Yahoo's current CEO, Page married Lucinda Lucy Southworth, a beautiful blond medical student. The wedding was held at Necker Island, owned by billionaire Richard Branson. About 600 guests were transported to private planes. The couple had 2 children and moved on a refurbished Boeing 767. They often go to Alaska or visit tropical areas on yachts purchased in 2011 during vacations. I don't like to show off my behemoths. He and his wife and two children live happily at the house in Palo Alto, an environmentally friendly house with a rooftop garden and solar panels.
