Google CFO George Reyes To Retire This Year

“I’ve known and admired George since our days together at Sun,” said Google Chairman and CEO, Eric Schmidt.  ”As Google’s CFO, George successfully navigated our innovative IPO, the regulatory demands of Sarbanes-Oxley, and the management challenges of scaling a global finance organization.”

Google Inc. (GOOG) announced today that George Reyes has informed the company of his intention to retire as Chief Financial Officer.  Reyes indicated that he will remain to assist in the search for a new CFO and to assure an orderly transition, which Google expects will occur by the end of the year.
