Google CEO Larry Page has reportedly transferred leadership of all cores Google products over to Sundar Pichai, who was formerly head of Android and Chrome OS.
Pichai will serve as Senior Vice President of all Google products and will manage a number of divisions, including business and operations, access and energy, Nest, Calico, Google X, corporate development, legal, finance, and business, which includes ad sales, PC World reported.
YouTube is not included in the deal because CEO Susan Wojcicki will continue to run that division somewhat independently.
According to Recode's sources close to the situation, the move stems from Page's fear that Google's products will grow less innovative as the company ages. Thus, the move should help create "less of a bottleneck" so that Pichai can focus his attention fully on making those existing and future products turn heads, the report said.
