He joins Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin among others
Alphabet, the parent company of Google, recently announced Google CEO Sundar Pichai as one of the board of directors.
After more than a decade at Google, Pichai was named CEO of the company when it was re-organised in August 2015 into a unit of Alphabet.
Pichai "helped lead the development of key consumer products which are now used by over a billion people," the company said in a statement while announcing the appointment.
The addition of Pichai adds another company officer to the board, which already includes Google co-founders Larry Page, now Alphabet CEO, and Sergey Brin, president, and chair and former CEO Eric Schmidt.
Diane Greene, head of Google's enterprise and cloud unit, is also on the Alphabet board.
