 "Google CFO Patrick Pichette to retire")
Google Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Patrick Pichette today announced his plans to retire from the global tech giant.
On his personal Google+ page, the 52-year old announced his plans and said he intends to go backpacking with his wife, Tamar, post retirement.
The US-based firm said it expects to find a replacement for Pichette within six months.
Patrick indicated that he intends to assist in the search for a new CFO and ensure an orderly transition, which the company expects, will occur within the next six months, it added.
In a separate post on Google+, CEO Page wished Pichette well and described his "unconventional" farewell note as "well worth reading."
Pichette, on his blogpost, said he had decided to retire after a recent trip climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa when his wife suggested they continue travelling.
Last year, Google Chief Business Officer Nikesh Arora quit the Mountain View-headquartered firm to join Japan's SoftBank Corp as the Vice Chairman.
Its social networking services head Vic Gundotra also left in April 2014.
