Will Google Have Trouble Finding A New CFO?

In August, Google CFO George Reyes announced that he was retiring. Reyes joined Google in 2002 and was the executive who helped the company through its IPO and subsequent growth. Forbes now estimates his stock is worth more than $200 million. The same article in Forbes also speculates that Google may have some trouble replacing Reyes because the same financial incentives to join the company don’t exist today as they did during the pre-IPO era, and Google’s corporate culture may not be as CFO-friendly as more traditional companies.

Reyes will reportedly stay on until a successor has been found.
