What parent company was created in 2015 to own Google?

Alphabet Inc. was created in 2015 as the parent company of Google.

Google announced the restructuring on August 10, 2015, and Alphabet became the new holding company on October 2, 2015. The change separated Google’s core internet businesses from a collection of other ventures, giving those businesses more independent management while placing them under one corporate parent.

Larry Page became Alphabet’s chief executive and Sergey Brin became its president at the restructuring. Google remained Alphabet’s largest subsidiary, with businesses such as X, Calico, and what became Waymo also grouped within the broader corporate structure. In 2019, Sundar Pichai became CEO of both Google and Alphabet.
