Analysts Are Calling For Google CEO Sundar Pichai To Step Down Despite Company’s Massive Growth Under His Leadership – Here’s Why
Alphabet Inc’s Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is at a crossroads, with increasing scrutiny over its ability to keep pace with competitors.
This has led to a growing number of voices within the tech community calling for a leadership change at the helm of the tech giant, specifically targeting CEO Sundar Pichai.
Ben Thompson, analyst and author at Stratechery, recently suggested that Google requires a significant transformation, which might necessitate changes in leadership, including the potential replacement of Pichai.
His sentiments were echoed by Bernstein internet analyst Mark Shmulik, who questioned whether the current management team is suited to navigate Google through the emerging AI era.
According to a report by Business Insider, Google’s recent missteps, including a notable error by its AI chatbot Bard during a public demonstration, have highlighted the company’s struggles with rapid innovation amidst bureaucratic hurdles.

In a newsletter, Thompson wrote, Google is in need of a transformation that would mean “removing those who let the former run amok, up to and including CEO Sundar Pichai.”
“The most recent saga only further raises increasingly louder questions around whether this is the right management team to guide Google into this next era,” Shmulik said in a statement.
