Sergey Brin’s Career At Google:

With Brin and Page at the helm, Google diversified its portfolio to Gmail, Google Maps, Android, YouTube, and beyond.

In 2015, Google was revamped in a significant overhaul and made into a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., with Brin as Alphabet's president. He resigned from the executive position in 2019 but still serves as a board member and is one of the largest shareholders to ensure his ongoing presence in the tech sector.
