Mountain View, CA...Google CEO Eric Schmidt announced today that he was moving to an Executive Chairmen position and Co-Founder Larry Page is becoming CEO. He posted the following today on the move.. "When I joined Google in 2001 I never imagined—even in my wildest dreams—that we would get as far, as fast as we have today. Search has quite literally changed people’s lives—increasing the collective sum of the world’s knowledge and revolutionizing advertising in the process. And our emerging businesses—display, Android, YouTube and Chrome—are on fire. Of course, like any successful organization we’ve had our fair share of good luck, but the entire team—now over 24,000 Googlers globally—deserves most of the credit.
