Google co-founder, Larry Page, is from Monday, April 4 The Web giant's CEO, a position held for ten years by Eric Schmidt. The latter will remain a member of the executive of Google, but will mainly relationships with customers, businesses and governments. In late January, when Mr. Schmidt announced he would leave his place on April 4, he explained that Google did not need the "adult supervision".

In short, Google has moved beyond the start-up growth requires the support of an experienced manager, and the company is ripe for takeover by one of its founders. More than ever, Mr. Page will face in the coming months with significant challenges. Technologically, Google is currently delivering a fierce battle against the "farm content" that pollute search results and building on the development of its Android operating system to increase its dominance, this time on the sector mobile.

Economically, and management of online advertising, search engine faces competition becoming stronger from Facebook. And on the diplomatic front, the search has been underway for over a year in a standoff with Beijing, coupled with an investigation by the European Commission for abusing its dominant position.

Discreet and appreciated, in Mountain View, for its accessibility, Larry Page is one of the richest men in the world through the invention of the "Page Rank" (page ranking, or page), the rating system of websites which allows Google to determine the importance and relevance of a link. It is no coincidence that the bubbling Eric Schmidt, best enemy of some U.S.

consumer groups, keep the records the most "diplomatic" Larry Page, excellent computer scientist, more at ease in managing strategic projects that in issues of communication. The discretion of Mr. Page does not render a man defaced or undecided. If it was less emphasized Eric Schmidt, Larry Page was, as the other co-founder Sergey Brin, involved in all strategic business decisions.

A "triumvirate" that has reached its limit and caused cumbersome operation, while the company now exceeds 25 000 employees and $ 200 billion (140 billion) market capitalization.
