In a memo to staff posted on Thursday, Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that Prabhakar Raghavan, the senior vice president in charge of search, ads, and other important segments, will now take on the role of chief technologist.
Pichai writes, "Prabhakar has decided it's time to make a big leap in his own career. After 12 years leading teams across Google, he'll return to his computer science roots and take on the role of Chief Technologist."
Nick Fox, who was part of Raghavan's leadership team, will replace Raghavan, leading Google's Search, ads, geo, and commerce products. Fox has helped launch products like Google Fi and RCS messaging, according to Pichai.
Google is shuffling some of its other teams around as well. The division in charge of Google's Gemini app will join Google DeepMind under CEO Demis Hassabis.
