Larry E. Page is, as of March 2005, the President of Products of Google Inc.
Education
Lawrence "Larry" E. Page (born March 26, 1973 in Ann Arbor, Michigan) is one of the founders of the Google internet search engine. He is a graduate of East Lansing High School. Page has a Bachelor of Science degree in computer engineering from the University of Michigan, and a Masters degree from Stanford University.
Larry Page is the son of Carl Vincent Page, a professor of computer science at Michigan State University, and Gloria Page.
Business
While a student in the PhD program in computer science at Stanford University, Page got an idea from a friend of his, Alex Sonkin. He then met Sergey Brin and, together they developed and ran the Google search engine, which began operating in 1998. Google is based on patented PageRank technology, which relies on the structure of links between web sites to determine the ranking of an individual site. Page is still "on leave" from the PhD program.
Page ran Google as co-president with Brin until 2001, when they hired Eric Schmidt to become Chairman and CEO of Google. Page now runs Google as a triumvirate, along with Brin and Schmidt.
As of October 2004, Page and co-founder Sergey Brin are estimated to be worth $7 billion apiece.
