Andy Rubin is out, Sundar Pichai is in.
This is a fascinating and surprising move given all the success Android has seen in recent months. I won’t attempt to speculate as to why this change is happening now — I’m sure we’ll get plenty of that over the next few days. What I do know is that Sundar Pichai, the Google executive who has been leading Chrome (and will continue to lead Chrome as well as Android — read into that what you will), is a great choice to take over.
I’ve had the opportunity to meet Pichai a number of times over the years — thanks mainly, I can only assume, to my obsession with tracking Chrome in my writing days — and found him to be one of the most thoughtful and open-minded execs I have ever met.
This genuinely makes me excited about the future of Android — even if you’ll still have to pry my iPhone from my cold, dead hands.
Andy has had a 10-year run for Android that would rival anyone’s. It’s a tribute to his vision and his willingness to make some pretty bold moves over the course of the decade.
