With Larry Page formally succeeding Eric Schmidt as Google’s CEO today, CIO takes a moment to look back and break down Schmidt’s top 10 accomplishments. Click the link above to read in full, or quickly browse the summarized list below:

1. AdSense

This revolutionary self-service ad platform for websites launched in 2003 and opened up a whole new playing field for online advertising. AdSense is now Google’s main revenue generator, accounting for 30 percent of the search giant’s revenues.

2. YouTube

Google acquired the video platform in 2006 for $1.65 billion. Today the platform enjoys 3 billion ad impressions a week.

3. Google Maps

When released, it simply kicked Mapquest out of the water. Now it’s everywhere, and Google’s location mapping boasts more intuitive features like 3D views, Google Latitude, Google Places, and most recently Google Hotpot food and entertainment recommendations.

4. Gmail

Gmail is not just a popular email service for Google; it’s the launchpad for many other services like your Google account, apps, GChat, voice calls, documents and more.

5. 20 Percent Time

Schmidt’s accomplishments aren’t just for the products we love and use — they also fundamentally impacted how Google ran internally. He introduced “20 percent time” at Google HQs in 2002, whereby employees could spend 20 percent of their time on side projects. These side projects have resulted in products like Google Wave, Google News and Google Reader. Companies looking to be the Google’s and Facebook’s of the East Coast here in Boston should make note.

6. Android

Google acquired Android in 2005, and in 2007 announced it was the company’s official smartphone platform. Funny mention at the time: Steve Ballmer (Microsoft’s CEO) dismissed this announcement as “just some words on paper.”

7. Verizon Partnership

The Motorola Droid launch in 2009 was in fact the second Android device to hit the market, but it set the stage for Android popularity. This was thanks to Google’s deal with Verizon to market the Droid.

8. iPhone Search

Don’t forget that Google partnered early on with Apple to power this earth shattering iPhone device’s search. With Android also skyrocketing, Google is dominating the mobiel search market just like it did with PCs.

9. IPO

An accomplishment worth billions for the CEO (and other initial founders, including Larry Page).

10. Chrome

Launched in 2008, it’s set to be more than a browser, being the base of Google TV and the Chrome OS (operating system).
