Brin was born in Moscow to Jewish parents and moved to the United States aged six in 1979, as his family left Soviet antisemitism behind. He studied mathematics and computer science at the University of Maryland.
At Stanford, on a National Science Foundation fellowship, he met Larry Page. They built the BackRub search engine and founded Google in 1998. Brin focused on technology and later special projects.
Google X
He led Google X, which worked on self-driving cars (later Waymo), Google Glass and other “moonshots”. He became president of Alphabet in 2015 and stepped back in 2019.
Return
After the launch of ChatGPT, Brin returned to Google in 2023 to work alongside researchers on the Gemini models. He also funds research on Parkinson’s disease, for which he carries a genetic risk.
