Scouting report
Made his name arguing internally that Google should build a browser at all, shipped Chrome in 2008 and took it from nothing to dominant, picking up Android and Chrome OS on the way before becoming CEO in 2015. Google under him released TensorFlow, Kubernetes, Go and Chromium, while facing antitrust rulings over the businesses that pay for all of it.
Curator’s note
Runs the company that both funds and dominates the open web.
