Google just announced that its chief business officer Nikesh Arora is leaving the company to join as CEO of Softbank Internet and Media.

Omid Kordestani, Google's business founder who led the sales team for many years, will take over.

This news comes as Google announced its Q2 earnings (which were a miss on the bottom line and a beat on the top).

Here's what Google said in a press release:

Arora has been at Google since 2004 and has been the company's chief business officer since 2011. He was responsible for overseeing all revenue and customer operations, as well as marketing and partnerships. He was Google's highest paid executive - making $51.1 million. Prior to joining Google, he was chief marketing officer and a member of the management board at T-Mobile Europe.
