Retiring Google CFO's touching work-life balance message in leaving post

Google’s CFO, Patrick Pichette, has announced his retirement with a touching message on work-life balance.

In a post on Google+ Pichette explained how a simple question from his wife made him decide that after seven years as the company’s CFO, it was time for an adventure

“A very early morning last September, after a whole night of climbing, looking at the sunrise on top of Africa - Mt Kilimanjaro. Tamar (my wife) and I were not only enjoying the summit, but on such a clear day, we could see in the distance, the vast plain of the Serengeti at our feet, and with it the calling of all the potential adventures Africa has to offer.
