Alphabet taps company veteran for principal accounting post

Alphabet named company veteran Marsida Saraci as principal accounting officer effective immediately, replacing Amie Thuener O’Toole, who left about two months ago to join Broadcom as finance chief. Saraci has spent roughly 15 years at Alphabet after more than eight years at KPMG. The move underscores Alphabet’s continued internal promotion strategy for senior finance roles and comes as the company leans on AI to automate finance workflows, including invoice processing. The article is more about leadership continuity than a direct business or earnings surprise, but it signals stability in Alphabet’s finance organization during a period of heavy AI investment and strong profitability. Saraci will receive $720,000 in restricted stock units vesting beginning in July.
