> Alphabet expects that its board will appoint a new, non-executive chairman at its next meeting in January, meaning that it will join the ranks of Apple and Microsoft as major companies with non-executive chairman. Could someone provide some context around this topic of executive/non-executive chairpersons? Edit: The above quote is taken from the original link which this HN post pointed to - https://www.cnbc.com/201…
Non-executive means that the person is not an employee of the company.
Yes, both meanings...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Could someone provide some context around this topic of executive/non-executive chairpersons? An executive chairman is something of a weird beast; they are both chairman of the board and an executive employee involved in managing the firm (as an employee, they usually report to the CEO, but the CEO is accountable to the board, which the chairman, well, chairs.) The exact division of duties between an executive chai…

As far as I can tell, there is no reason to think that his close collaborators at Google didn’t know about and discovered something unsavoury recently. More to the point, there is no reason to think his behaviour (although offensive to some) was ever non-consensual.
It’s entirely understandable that, after more than a decade at the helm of the most incredible companies of all time, he’s stepping down to simply retire.

Google was right to start lobbying the Government for good causes, they just chose the wrong horse. Eric chose the wrong horse. Not only that, they paid the price for that access by letting in political advisers on internal content-review/content-policy boards, and adopting new hiring practices.
