Category: Private Citizen — Corporate Director (Co-Founder) Role: Co-Founder & Director, Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) Board Tenure: 1998 (from Google founding) – present Committee Memberships: Executive Committee Profile Type: Board Member Accountability — Anchor B (Documented Organizational Leadership)

> Basis for Inclusion: Sergey Brin holds a documented governance role as co-founder and director of Alphabet Inc., which made documented political donations to Trump-aligned entities while the corporation faced regulatory and policy decisions directly affecting its financial interests. Brin co-controls Alphabet through Class B super-voting shares alongside Larry Page, giving the founding pair effective majority voting control of the company. This profile documents the factual governance relationship, not the subject’s personal political views.

> Subject Classification: Private Citizen / Corporate Director. Board membership is a matter of public record (SEC filings, proxy statements). Brin’s supervoting share control is disclosed in Alphabet’s annual proxy. This profile documents only the governance role and its connection to documented corporate political activity.

> What is NOT the basis for inclusion: Brin’s personal political opinions, party affiliation, public statements, or any protected speech are NOT the basis for inclusion. The basis is solely the documented directorial role and share-control structure and their fiduciary connection to corporate political spending documented in the parent corporate donor profile.

Biographical Overview

Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin (born August 21, 1973, Moscow, USSR) co-founded Google with Larry Page in 1998 while both were doctoral students at Stanford University. Brin served as President of Technology at Google from 2001 to 2015 and as President of Alphabet from 2015 to 2019. Along with Page, he stepped back from day-to-day management in December 2019, though he retains his board seat and controlling share position.

Brin has reportedly returned to working more actively at Google/DeepMind in recent years, particularly on AI development projects. Through Class B shares (10 votes per share), Brin and Page together maintain effective voting control over Alphabet despite owning a minority of total shares. As of mid-2026, Brin’s net worth exceeds $140 billion. He is a naturalized U.S. citizen who immigrated from the Soviet Union at age 6.

He holds a B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Maryland and an M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University (ABD in Ph.D. program).
