Lawrence Edward Page (born March 26, 1973) is an American computer scientist and internet entrepreneur who founded Google with Sergey Brin.
Page is Google's chief executive officer (CEO) of Google's parent company Alphabet Inc. After stepping aside as CEO of Google in August 2001, supporting Eric Schmidt, he again took over the role in April 2011. He announced his intention to step aside second in July 2015, to become CEO of Alphabet, where Google assets will be reorganized. Under Page, Alphabet strives to make great progress in various industries.
On February 11, 2018, Page was the ninth richest man in the world, with a net worth of $ 51 billion.
Page is the inventor of PageRank, Google's most popular search ranking algorithm. Page received the Marconi Prize in 2004 with Brin.

Early life and education
Page was born on March 26, 1973, in East Lansing, Michigan. His mother was a Jew, and his maternal grandfather then made aliyah to Israel, but Page did not follow any formal religion. His father, Carl Victor Page, Sr., obtained a PhD in computer science from the University of Michigan, when the field was founded, and the BBC's Will Smale described it as "a pioneer in computer science and artificial intelligence". He is a professor of computer science at Michigan State University and Page's mother, Gloria, is an instructor in computer programming at Lyman Briggs College and at Michigan State University.
During the interview, Page remembers his childhood, noting that his home is "usually messy, with computers, science, and technology magazines and Popular Science magazines everywhere," an environment in which he drowns. self. Page was a loyal reader during his youth, writing in the founding letter of Google 2013: "I remember spending a lot of time reading books and magazines". According to author Nicholas Carlson, the combined influence of the home atmosphere of Page and caring parents "foster creativity and invention". Page also plays saxophones and learns the musical composition while growing up. He attended the famous music summer camp - Interlochen Arts Camp in Interlochen, Michigan. Page has mentioned that his music education inspires his impatience and his obsession with speed in computing. "In a sense, I feel like musical training caused my high-speed Google legacy". In a Page interview saying that "In music, you are very aware of time.Time is like the main thing" and that "If you think about it from a musical standpoint, if you're a percussionist, you hit something, it should happen in milliseconds , fractional seconds ".
Page was first attracted to computers when he was six, because he was able to "play with things around" - the first generation of personal computers - left by his parents. He became "the first child in elementary school to deliver the task of a word processor". His older sister also taught him to separate and soon he took "all in his separate home to see how it worked". He said that "from a very young age, I also realized that I wanted to create something, so I became very interested in technology and business, maybe since I was 12 years old, I knew I would start a company in the end."
Page attended the Okemos Montessori School (now Montessori Radmoor) in Okemos, Michigan, from 1975 to 1979, and graduated from East Lansing High School in 1991. He attended the Interlochen Center for the Arts as a saxophonist for two summers while in high school. Page holds a Bachelor of Science degree in computer engineering from the University of Michigan, with praise and a Master of Science in computer science from Stanford University. While at the University of Michigan, Page invented an inkjet printer made of Lego bricks (literally a line plotter), after he thought it might be possible to print large cheap posters using inkjet cartridges - Page reverse-ink cartridge machines, and build all the electronics and mechanics to drive it. Page served as president of the Epsilon Beta chapter of the fraternity of Eta Kappa Nu, and was a member of the 1993 Solar Car "Solar & amp; Blue" Car Solar team. As a student at the University of Michigan, he proposed that the school replace its bus system with a PRT system that is essentially a monorail without a driver with a separate car for each passenger. He also developed a business plan for companies that would use software to build musical synthesizers during this time.

PhD study and research
After enrolling in a computer science program at Stanford University, Page was looking for a dissertation theme and considering exploring the mathematical properties of the World Wide Web, understanding the link structure as a large graph - his supervisor Terry Winograd encouraged him to pursue ideas, and Page recalled in 2008 that it was the best advice he had ever received. He also considered doing research on telepresence and autonomous cars during this time.
The page focuses on the problem of figuring out which web pages are linked to a particular page, given the number and nature of the backlink as valuable information for that page - the role of quotations in academic publishing will also be relevant for research. Sergey Brin, a Stanford PhD student, will soon join the Page research project, dubbed "BackRub." Together, the couple wrote a research paper entitled "The Anatomy of Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine", which became one of the most downloaded scientific documents in Internet history at the time.
John Battelle, co-founder of Wired magazine, writes that Page has reasoned that:
... The whole Web is loosely based on the premise of quotations - after all, what is a link but a quote? If he can devise a method to calculate and qualify every backlink on the Web, just as Page puts it "the Web will be a more valuable place."
Battelle further illustrates how Page and Brin began to work together on the project:
At the time the page was conceived by BackRub, the Web comprised about 10 million documents, with countless links between them. The computing resources needed to crawl like an animal goes far beyond the ordinary boundaries of a student project. Not knowing exactly what he meant, Page started building his crawler. The complexity and scale of the idea lured Brin to work. A polymath who has jumped from project to project without completing the thesis topic, he finds the premise behind an interesting BackRub. "I talk to many research groups" around the school, Brin recalls, "and this is the most exciting project, both because it handles the Web, which represents human knowledge, and because I love Larry."
Search engine development
To convert backlink data collected by the BackRub web crawler into an important measure for a particular webpage, Brin and Page developed the PageRank algorithm, and realized that it could be used to make search engines far superior to existing ones. The new algorithm relies on a new type of technology that analyzes the relevance of backlinks that link one webpage to another.
Combining their ideas, the couple began using Page dorm rooms as machine labs, and took parts from low-cost computers to create the devices they used to connect the non-new search engine with the Stanford broadband campus network. After filling the Page room with the equipment, they then changed the dormitory rooms of Brin into offices and programming centers, where they tested their new search engine design on the Web. The rapid growth of their projects caused the Stanford computing infrastructure to run into problems.
Page and Brin use basic HTML programming capabilities to form simple search pages for users, as they do not have web page developers to create something that is visually complicated. They also started using computer parts they could find to gather the computing power needed to handle search by many users. Since their search engine is getting more popular among Stanford users, additional servers are required to process questions. In August 1996, an early version of Google, still on the Stanford University website, was made available to Internet users.
In early 1997, the BackRub page described the following:
-
- Some Rough Statistics (from 29 August 1996)
- Total indexable HTML URL: 75.2306Ã, Million
- Total content downloaded: 207.022Ã, gigabyte
- ...
-
- BackRub is written in Java and Python and runs on several Sun Ultras and Intel Pentiums running Linux. The primary database is stored in Sun Ultra series II with 28GB disk. Scott Hassan and Alan Steremberg have provided very talented implementation assistance. Sergey Brin is also very involved and deserves a lot of gratitude.

Scott Hassan and Alan Steremberg have provided very talented implementation assistance. Sergey Brin is also very involved and deserves a lot of gratitude.
BackRub already shows the basic functions and characteristics of the search engine: the input query is entered and lists the backlinks by importance. Page remembers: "We realize that we have a query tool.This gives you page rank and ordering a good follow-up page." Page said that in mid-1998 they finally realized the further potential of their project: "Soon we have 10,000 searches a day, and we estimate, maybe this is real."
Some compare the vision of Page and Brin with the impact of Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of modern printing:
In 1440, Johannes Gutenberg introduced Europe to a mechanical printing machine, printing the Bible for mass consumption. This technology allows for books and scripts - originally replicated by hand - to print at a much faster rate, thus spreading knowledge and helping to drive the European Renaissance... Google has done a similar job.
This comparison is also noted by the authors of The Google Story: "Not since Gutenberg... has a new invention that empowers individuals, and alters access to information, such as Google." Also, not long after the two "made their new machine for web search, they began to think of information that was at the time outside the web," such as book digitization and the expansion of health information.
1998-2001
Establishment
Mark Malseed writes in the 2003 feature story:
Requesting funds from faculty members, family and friends, daniel and Page garnered enough to buy several servers and rent a renowned garage at Menlo Park.... [soon after], Sun Microsystems co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim wrote a $ 100,000 check to "Google, Inc." The only problem is, "Google, Inc." not yet - the company is not yet incorporated. For two weeks, when they were handling documents, the youths had no place to save money. "
In 1998, Brin and Page entered Google, Inc. with the initial domain name "Googol," which comes from a number consisting of one followed by a hundred zeros - this represents a large amount of data that search engines are intended to explore. After starting, Page appointed him as CEO, while Brin, who was named Google founder, served as president of Google. Writer Nicholas Carlson writes in 2014:
While Google is often considered the invention of two young computer whizs - Sergey and Larry, Larry and Sergey - the truth is that Google is a creation of Larry Page, aided by Sergey Brin.
The mission of the couple is: "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." With a loan of US $ 1 million from friends and family, the inaugural team eventually moved to the Mountain View office in early 2000. In 1999, Page experimented with smaller server units so that Google could fit more into every square meter of third party warehouses who hired the company to store their servers, which ultimately led to a search engine that runs much faster than Google's competitors at the time.
In June 2000, Google indexed one billion Internet URLs, or Uniform Resource Locators, making it the most comprehensive search engine on the Web at the time. The company cited NEC Research Institute data in a June 26 news release, stating that "there are more than 1 billion web pages online today," with Google "providing access to 560 million full-text pages indexed and 500 million partially indexed URLs. "
Initial management style
During his first term as CEO, Page started a business in the past to fire all Google project managers in 2001. The Page plan involves all Google engineers who report to the Vice President, who will then report directly to him - Page explains that he does not like engineers supervising engineers due to their limited technical knowledge. Page even documenting the principle of management so that his team can be used as a reference:
- Do not delegate: Do everything you can to make things work faster.
- Do not block if you do not add a value. Let people actually do the work of talking to each other when you do something else.
- Do not bureaucrats.
- Ideas are more important than age. Just because a junior does not mean they do not deserve respect and cooperation.
- The worst thing you can do is stop someone from doing something by saying, "No. Period." If you say no, you should help them find a better way to get it done.
Although Page's new model is unsustainable and causes disagreements among the affected employees, the problem with engineers managed by non-technical staff gained wider traction. Ultimately, a practice that only instructs engineers into the engineering team's management role is established as a standard in Silicon Valley.
Page also believes that the sooner the Google search engine returns the answer, the more it will be used. He was anxious for a few milliseconds and encouraged his engineers - from those who developed the algorithms for those who built the data center - to think about the time lag. He also encourages to keep the famous Google home page rare in its design because it will help search results load faster.
2001-2011
Changes in management and expansion
Before the two most prominent investors in Silicon Valley, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & amp; Byers and Sequoia Capital, agreed to invest a combined total of $ 50 million into Google, they applied pressure on Page to resign as CEO so that more experienced leaders could build "world-class management teams." Page finally came to agree with the idea after meeting with other technology CEOs, including Steve Jobs and Intel's Andrew Grove. Eric Schmidt, who had been employed as Chairman of Google in March 2001, left his position as CEO of Novell to take the same role in Google in August of the same year, and Page moved sideways to take over the role of President Role of the product.
Under Schmidt's leadership, Google experienced a period of great growth and expansion, which included an initial public offering (IPO) on August 20, 2004. However, he always acted in consultation with Page and Brin when he initiated such initiatives as hiring an executive team and the creation of a power management system sales. Furthermore, Page remains the boss at Google in the eyes of the employees, as he gives final approval to all new employees and Page signing for the IPO, the latter making him a billionaire by the age of thirty.
Page leads the acquisition of Android for $ 50 million in 2005 to fulfill its ambition to put a handheld computer in consumer ownership so they can access Google from anywhere. The purchase was made unbeknownst to Schmidt, but the CEO was not bothered by a relatively small acquisition. Page gets excited about Android, and spends a lot of time with Android CEO and co-founder Andy Rubin. In September 2008, T-Mobile launched the G1, the first phone to use Android software and, in 2010, 17.2 percent of the handset market consisted of Android sales, beating Apple for the first time. Android became the most popular mobile operating system in the world soon after.
Assuming CEO's position on Google
Following the announcement of January 2011, Page officially became Google's chief executive on April 4, 2011, while Schmidt resigned to become chief executive. At this time, Google has over $ 180 billion market capitalization and more than 24,000 employees.
After Schmidt announces the end of his tenure as CEO on January 20, 2011, he joked tweets on Twitter: "Adult supervision is no longer necessary." The quartz organizational management reporter Max Nisen described the decade before Google's first appointment of Page as Google's CEO as "the missing decade." While Pages continue to have a significant effect on Google during this time, overseeing product development and other operations, it becomes increasingly disconnected and less responsive over time.
2011-2013
As the new Google CEO, two of Page's major goals are the development of greater autonomy for executives who oversee the most important divisions, and higher levels of collaboration, communication, and unity among teams. Page also formed the so-called "L-Team" media, a group of senior vice presidents who report directly to him and work near his office for part of the working week. In addition, he reorganized the company's senior management, placing a CEO-like manager at the top of Google's product division, including YouTube, AdWords and Google Search.
In accordance with a more cohesive team environment, Page declared a new policy of "zero tolerance for fighting" as opposed to its approach during Google's early days, when he would use his harsh and intense arguments with Brin as an example for senior management. Page had changed his mind during his time away from the CEO role, when he finally came to the conclusion that his ambitious goal required a harmonious team dynamics. As part of the Page Collaborative rejuvenation process, Google products and apps are consolidated and aesthetically improved.
Changes and consolidation process
At least 70 Google products, features and services are finally closed in March 2013, while the look and properties of the remaining are put together. Jon Wiley, the main designer of Google Search at the time, with the code name page redesign, officially commencing on April 4, 2011, "Project Kennedy," based on the use of the term "popping" Page to describe an ambitious project in January 2013 > Wired interview. An initiative called "Kanna" has previously tried to create a uniform design aesthetic for various Google products, but it's too difficult at that point in the company's history for a team to drive the change. Matias Duarte, senior director of Android user experience when "Kennedy" started, explains in 2013 that "Google is very concerned with design." The page continues to consult the Google Creative Lab design team, based in New York City, to find answers to his questions about what Google's "cohesive vision" is.
The end result of "Kennedy," which was launched progressively from June 2011 to January 2013, is described by The Verge technology publication that focuses on "refinement, white space, cleanliness, elasticity, usefulness, and most importantly simplicity." The final product is aligned with the Page goal for a series of consistent products that can "move quickly," and "Kennedy" is called "design revolution" by Duarte. The "UXA" design team (UXA) from "UXA" then emerges from the "Kennedy" project, which is tasked with "designing and developing a true UI framework that turns Google's app software into a beautiful, mature, accessible, and consistent for its users. "Unspoken in public, a small UXA unit is designed to ensure that" Kennedy "becomes an" institution ".
New acquisition and product strategy
When acquiring a product and a company for Google, Page asked if the business acquisition passed the toothbrush test as an initial qualification, asking the question "Is that something you would use once or twice a day, and does it make your life better?". This approach seeks usability over profitability, and long-term potential for short-term financial gains, which have been recorded as rare in the business acquisition process.
With Facebook's rapidly growing influence during the start of Page's second term, he finally responded to intensive competition with Google's own social network, Google, in mid-2011. After several delays, the social networking was released through very limited field trials and led by Vic Gundotra , senior vice president of Google's social field.
In August 2011, Page announced that Google would spend $ 12.5 billion to acquire Motorola Mobility. This purchase is primarily motivated by Google's need to secure patents to protect Android from lawsuits by companies including Apple Inc. Page wrote on Google's official blog on August 15, 2011 that "companies including Microsoft and Apple are united in anti-competitive patent attacks on Android The US Department of Justice should intervene in recent patent auction results to" protect competition and innovation within the device community open source software "... The acquisition of Motorola will increase competition by strengthening Google's patent portfolio, which will allow us to better protect Android against anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple, and other companies."
Page also ventured into hardware and Google launched Chromebooks in May 2012. Hardware products are laptops running on Google's operating system, Chrome OS.
2013-2015
In January 2013, Page participated in a rare interview with Wired , in which author Steven Levy discusses the "10X" Page mentality - Google employees are expected to create products and services that are at least 10 times better than their competitors - in introductory description. Astro Teller, head of Google X, explains to Levy that 10X is "only the core for whom he [Page] is," while Page's "focus is where the next 10X is coming." In his interview with Levy, Page refers to the success of YouTube and Android as an example of a "crazy" idea that was initially uninterested in investors, saying: "If you do not do some crazy things, then you do the wrong thing." Page also stated he was "very happy" with Google's status, and discussed internet concerns related to SOPA bills and recently introduced International Telecommunication Union proposals:
... I think the internet is under a much bigger attack than in the past. The government is now afraid of the Internet because of the Middle East stuff, and so they are a little more willing to listen to what I see as many commercial interests that just want to make money by limiting people's freedom. But they have also seen remarkable user reactions, such as reaction to SOPA. I think that the government is against freedom of users at their own risk.
At a May I/O developers conference in San Francisco, Page delivered a keynote address and said that "We may achieve 1% of what is possible.While there are faster changes, we are still moving slowly compared to our chances I think a lot of it because of the negativity... Every story I read is Google vs others It's boring We have to focus on building things that do not exist "and that he" sadly the Web is not progressing as fast as it should be "citing the perceived focus on negativity and zero sum games among some in the technology sector as the cause for it. In response to audience questions, Page notes the problems Google has with Microsoft, where the latter makes its Outlook program operable with Google, but does not allow backward compatibility - it refers to Microsoft's practice as "blush". During the question-and-answer section of his keynote, Page expressed his interest in Burning Man, which had previously been praised by Brin - it was the motivating factor for the latter during the Schmidt recruitment process, as Brin liked that Schmidt had attended week-long annual events.
In September 2013, Page launched the independent Calico initiative, the R & amp; D in the field of biotechnology. Google announced that Calico was trying to innovate and make improvements in the field of human health, and appointed Art Levinson, chairman of the board of Apple and former CEO of Genentech, to become CEO of the new division. Page's official statement read: "Disease and aging affect all of our families, with some long-term thinking, about health and biotechnology, I believe we can raise millions of lives."
The page participates in the March 2014 TedX conference held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This presentation was written by the chief executive PR Page, Rachel Whetstone, and CMO Lorraine Twohill from Google, and a demonstration of a computer program created artificially on a large screen. Page responded to questions about the company, noting that most companies get "bad rap", which he claims is because they might do the same additional things they did "50 or 20 years ago". He continues by bringing such incremental approaches closer to his vision of Google against calcification through technological innovations driving at high speed. Page mentioned Elon Musk and SpaceX:
He [Musk] wants to go to Mars to support humanity. It is a worthy goal. We have many employees at Google who have become very rich. You work because you want to change the world and make it better... I want us to help more of us.
The page also mentions Nikola Tesla with regards to invention and commercialization:
Not enough discovery. Tesla discovers the power we use, but she struggles to get it out to people... You have to combine these two things: innovation discovery and focus, plus a company that can commercialize stuff and bring it to people.
Page announced a major management restructuring in October 2014 so that it no longer needs to be responsible for decision-making related to everyday products. In the memo, Page says that Google's core business will be able to evolve in a distinctive way, while he can focus on next generation ambitious projects, including the Google X initiative; access and energy, including Google Fiber; smart home automation through Nest Labs; and biotechnological innovations under Calico. Page states that he will continue to be the unofficial "chief product officer". Following the announcement, executives responsible for Google's core products were reported to Google Senior Vice President Sundar Pichai, who reported directly to Page.
In an November 2014 interview, Page stated that he prioritized the maintenance of "in-depth knowledge" of the product and the breadth of Google's project, as it was a key driver for team members. Regarding his current role as corporate CEO, Page said: "I think my job as CEO - I feel like it is always pushing people forward."
Alphabet
On August 10, 2015, Page announced on Google's official blog that Google had restructured into a number of subsidiaries from a new parent company known as Alphabet Inc. with Page becoming CEO of Alphabet Inc. and Sundar Pichai assuming the position of CEO of Google Inc. the announcement, Page describes the parent company planned as follows:
As well as explaining the origin of the company name:
Page writes that the motivation behind the reorganization is to make Google "cleaner and more responsible." He also writes that there is a desire to improve "transparency and oversight of what we do," and to allow greater control over unrelated companies within the Google ecosystem.
Other interests
Page is an investor at Tesla Motors. He has invested in renewable energy technologies, and with the help of Google.org, Google's philanthropic arm, promotes the adoption of plug-in hybrid electric cars and other alternative energy investments.
Pages are also interested in the socio-economic effects of sophisticated intelligent systems and how sophisticated digital technology can be used to create abundance (as described in Peter Diamandis's book), providing community needs, shortening working hours, and reducing the potential adverse effects of technological unemployment.
Page also helped establish Singularity University, a think-tank transhumanist. Google is one of the founders of the company and is still funding scholarships at Singularity University.
Personal life
In 2007, Page married Lucinda Southworth on Necker Island, Richard Branson's Caribbean island. Southworth is a research scientist and sister of actress and model of Carrie Southworth. Page and Southworth have two children, born in 2009 and 2011.
On February 18, 2005, Page was awarded a deed at the Spanish Colonial Architecture house 9000-sq ft Revival in Palo Alto, California designed by American artist polymath Pedro Joseph de Lemos, former curator of the Stanford Art Museum and founder of the Carmel Art Institute, after the historic building it was on the market for years with the asking price of US $ 7.95 million. A two-story stucco arches stretched across the driveway and the house features elaborate cement works, as well as stones and tiles in the style of the California Arts and Crafts movement built to resemble the de Lemos family castle in Spain. The hacienda was built between 1931-41 by de Lemos. This is also on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2009 Pages began buying property and knocked out a house adjacent to his home in Palo Alto to make room for the great ekohouse. The existing buildings are "deconstructed" and the materials donated for reuse. Ecohouse is designed to "minimize the impact on the environment." Page works with an arborist to replace some of the trees whose health is bad with others who use less water to treat. Page is also applied to Green Point Certification, with points given for the use of recycled materials and low or no-VOC (volatile organic compounds) and for roof gardens with solar panels. The exterior of the house has a layer of zinc and many windows, including a sliding glass door wall at the back. It also includes eco-friendly elements such as paving permeable in the parking lot and previous trails through the trees on the property. This 6,000 square foot home also looks at other green design features such as organic architectural building materials and volatile organic compound paint.
In 2011, Page became the owner of US $ 45 million 193-ft superyacht 'Senses', equipped with helipad, gym, multi-level sun deck, ten luxury suites, 14 crew and interior design by renowned French designer Philippe Starck. 'Senses' also has extensive ocean exploration capability, the superyacht was created to explore the world's oceans comfortably and bring a very comprehensive inventory of equipment for that purpose. 'Senses' was built by Fr. Schweers Shipyard in Germany at their Berne shipyard. 'Senses' features steel hull displacement and steel/aluminum superstructure, with teak decks. 'Senses' comes with an ultra-modern stabilization system that reduces free surface effects and results in a smoother roaming experience.
Page was announced on his Google profile in May 2013 that his right vocal cords were paralyzed by a cold that he contracted earlier in the summer, while his left cable was paralyzed in 1999. Page explained that he had suffered vocal cords for 14 years. , and, as of May 2013 post, doctors are still unable to identify the exact cause of the problem. Google posts also revealed that Page has donated large sums of money to a neural-neural research program at the Voice Health Institute in Boston, USA. This program, at Massachusetts General Hospital, is led by Steven Zeitels, Eugene B Professor Casey Laryngeal Surgery. Anonymous sources state that the donation exceeds $ 20 million.
In October 2013, Business Insider reports that the paralyzed ribbon on Page is caused by an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and prevents it from making quarterly quarterly earnings conference calls for an indefinite period of time.
In November 2014, the Page Victor Foundation's foundation, the Carl Victor Page Memorial Fund, reported to have assets of more than a billion dollars by the end of 2013, provided $ 15 million to help counter the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Page wrote on his Google page that "My wife and I just donated $ 15 million.... Our hearts went to all the affected people."
