Google CFO George Reyes retires

Google said that Reyes recently has informed the company of his intention to retire as Chief Financial Officer. 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.

It was unclear where Reyes, 51, will retire completely from his career or whether he will be looking for a position somewhere else. According to SEC filings, Reyes currently holds 51,750 Google shares valued at about $23.6 million when exercised.

Prior to joining Google, George was interim chief financial officer for ONI Systems from February 2002 until June 2002. From April 1999 to September 2001, he was vice president and treasurer of Sun Microsystems.
