Google CFO Patrick Pichette recently announced that he will be taking an early retirement at the age of 52, after seven years with the renowned company known for its search engine. Pichette was inspired while on a trip with his wife and viewing the beauty of a sunrise on Mount Kilimanjaro to retire, which he describes as a “perfectly fine mid life crisis full of bliss and beauty.” With his children out of the house pursuing their own endeavors, Pichette plans to spend his time traveling with his wife. Travel locations planned include Antarctica and Mount Everest.
