Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai announced in a blog post that Prabhakar Raghavan, the company's search and ads head, will be moving into the role of chief technologist after spending 12 years leading teams across the search company.

Fox is a member of Raghavan's leadership team and has been vice president of product and design for Google's Assistant product in recent years.
