Status and meaning

Editorial status. Not reviewed by an editor. An exploratory record that no editor has accepted. This status does not say whether a person has read any linked passage. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.

Relation. An institutional role with explicitly scoped time: snapshot, sourced interval, or unknown dates. No continuing appointment is implied.

Date. Start month from the 2026 proxy statement. Google's Form 8-K of 10 August 2015 had announced that he would become chief executive upon completion of the Alphabet reorganisation. The proxy of 24 April 2026 still lists him as chief executive of Google; no end and no later state are recorded.
