Larry Page is an American computer scientist and internet entrepreneur, renowned for his groundbreaking work in the field of search engines and his co-founding of Google, one of the most influential technology companies in the world. Born on March 26, 1973, in East Lansing, Michigan, Page's early life was steeped in the world of computer science, as both his parents were computer science professors at Michigan State University. This early exposure ignited a passion for technology that would shape his entire career. Page earned a Bachelor of Science in computer engineering from the University of Michigan and later pursued a Ph.D. in computer science at Stanford University. It was during his time at Stanford that Page met Sergey Brin, with whom he would go on to develop the foundational ideas behind Google. Their collaborative work on the PageRank algorithm, which revolutionized the way search engines ranked web pages, laid the groundwork for the creation of Google in 1998. As Google grew from a small startup to a global technology leader, Page served as the company's CEO from 2011 to 2015 and then as the CEO of Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company, from 2015 to 2019. Throughout his tenure, Page was known for his innovative thinking, his emphasis on developing artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, and his commitment to making the world's information universally accessible and useful. His leadership and vision have been instrumental in shaping the modern internet landscape and have had a profound impact on the way people access and interact with information worldwide.
