CNBC noted that the leadership transition has been planned for a while.

The company had previously announced in July 2023 that Ruth Porat was commencing a new role as President & Chief Investment Officer of Alphabet and Google. She will continue as CFO until Anat starts, including through the company’s Q2 earnings.

“We’re very pleased to have found such a strong CFO, with a track record of strategic focus on long-term investment to fuel innovation and growth,” said Sundar Pichai.

Google’s finance unit has been undergoing significant changes in recent months. Earlier this year, CFO Ruth Porat announced a restructuring to prioritize AI investments, which involved layoffs and relocations affecting global teams, according to CNBC.

Price Action: GOOGL shares are up 1.20% at $175.88 at the last check on Wednesday.
