Google CFO George Reyes to retire
CEO Eric Schmidt says of Reyes:Though we fully appreciate his decision to step back from active management, we’ll miss his thoughtfulness, good humor and wisdom.What he means:
That Reyes sure made us laugh a lot, especially when he tried to make us plan budgets, didn’t he?Google cofounder Larry Page adds:
He has done an excellent job in keeping us financially disciplined while protecting the best of our entrepreneurial culture.But he means:
Reyes didn’t warn us loudly enough that we were hiring too many people, so he’s out of here.And Reyes himself?
Working at Google these past 5 and a half years has been an extraordinary ride.And what he means:
Stop the world, I want to get off.
