Alphabet is a collection of companies that provides ambitious and growing business the resources, independence and freedom to achieve their highest potentials. By having a model that assigns a strong CEO to each business, Alphabet helps businesses prosper through excellent leadership and independence. The founders of one of the largest technology companies in the world, Google, started the new company for a “cleaner and more accountable” business.
The CEO’s of Alphabet companies are chosen and compensated by the CEO and president of Alphabet, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, respectively. In addition, the two main executives of Alphabet also handle the Alphabet capital allocation.
The companies in Alphabet are from several industries including life sciences, technology, investment capital and research. Some of these companies are Calico, GV, Google Capital, Google Fiber, X, Verily and of course Google.
The main goal of Alphabet is to give Alphabet companies the independence and freedom to build their own individual brands. Thus, it should not be mistaken that Alphabet is intending to be one big consumer brand for itself with related products.
