It usually isn't, Chairman doesn't involve day to day supervision and decision making.
When Eric Schmidt became chairman or Ruth Porat became president, this was more a transition towards less involvement than an increase of impact.

- tonfa 2mo agoDemis took Jeff former title. (Jeff became Chief Scientist when Brain was dissolved into deepmind) I suspect the SVP/CEO leading Deepmind has a lot more sway over the rest of the company than someone with a title and no reports. :) (Also the 20y+ of contributions and having built much of the base Google infra probably gave more influence to Jeff than the remaining title)
