Sorry - this page has been removed. Google's chief financial officer to step down
(3 months later)
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason. Google’s chief financial officer, Patrick Pichette, has announced his intention to retire, the company said on Tuesday.
His decision marks the latest in a number of recent changes to the internet company’s upper ranks.
For further information, please contact: Google expects to find a replacement for Pichette within six months, the company said in a regulatory filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
A former telecom industry executive, Pichette joined Google in 2008. The date of his departure has not yet been determined but Google said he intended to assist in the search for a replacement.
Google has a market valuation of about $380bn (£252bn) and analysts expect the company to generate $76bn in revenue this year.
Shares of Google, which finished Tuesday’s regular trading session down 2.4% at $555.01, were down 15 cents in after-hours trading.
The technology firm has recently gone through a string of changes to the senior management.
Last year, its chief business officer, Nikesh Arora, departed unexpectedly to become vice-chairman of Japan’s SoftBank and was replaced by longtime executive Omid Kordestani.
Vic Gundotra, the head of Google’s social networking services, left in April 2014.
