Have you already heard about our “Sundar Pichai” coaching pack without understanding this “strange” reference? Today, we are exploring the exceptional trajectory of the current CEO of Google, a model of post-consulting success in strategy.

Who is Sundar Pichai?

Sundar Pichai, a name synonymous with innovation and leadership in the world of technology, is the CEO of Google, the company that is redefining how we live and communicate in the digital age. Under his leadership, Google launched groundbreaking products and continued to dominate the global online search market. But before reaching the heights of Silicon Valley, Sundar honed his skills at McKinsey & Company, one of the most prestigious consulting firms.

The transition from McKinsey to Google

A graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur, Pichai continued his studies in the United States, where he obtained a Master's degree from Stanford University and an MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. His time at McKinsey allowed him to acquire in-depth expertise in strategy and business management, skills that he successfully transposed to Google. His former colleagues at McKinsey describe him as an outstanding strategist with a long-term vision and an exceptional ability to solve complex problems.

The impact of McKinsey on her career

Pichai often recalls how formative his years at McKinsey were, teaching him the importance of analytical thinking and operational excellence. These qualities were crucial for him to rise through the ranks at Google, where he started in 2004 and where he played a key role in launching iconic products such as Google Chrome, Google Drive, and Chrome OS.
