Find out why Google CFO, Patrick Pichette quit his job
Sometimes you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. Pushing off your dreams and aspirations gets old really quick and Google CFO Patrick Pichette has recognized that.
“I could not find a good argument to tell [my wife] we should wait any longer for us to grab our backpacks and hit the road,” he writes
After a short seven years with Google, Patrick has decided to call it quits and backpack around the world with his wife. 52 year old Pichette could no longer come up with good reasons to delay traveling with his wife Tamar.
Third, this summer, Tamar and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary. When our kids are asked by their friends about the success of the longevity of our marriage, they simply joke that Tamar and I have spent so little time together that “it’s really too early to tell” if our marriage will in fact succeed. If they could only know how many great memories we already have together. How many will you say? How long do you have? But one thing is for sure, I want more. And she deserves more. Lots more.
Allow me to spare you the rest of the truths. But the short answer is simply that I could not find a good argument to tell Tamar we should wait any longer for us to grab our backpacks and hit the road – celebrate our last 25 years together by turning the page and enjoy a perfectly fine mid life crisis full of bliss and beauty, and leave the door open to serendipity for our next leadership opportunities, once our long list of travels and adventures is exhausted.
