The smart home device maker hasn’t had an easy time under Google, including discontent over leadership and a potential sale to Amazon in 2016.
Five months after Nest rejoined Google, the search giant told employees Tuesday that Marwan Fawaz will no longer be CEO of Nest, and the smart home device maker will be combined with Google's home and living room products team.
The move may make it easier for Google's smart home devices to work with each other and tap into artificial intelligence and machine learning advances, Fawaz and Rishi Chandra, vice president of product management for Google's home and living room products, said in a joint interview on Monday.
Nest, which had up until now been housed more broadly under Google's hardware division, will be merged with Google's home devices unit. The combined team now reports to Chandra, a 12-year Google veteran.
"This is the natural evolution," Chandra said. "We thought, let's connect these things and build experiences that we really couldn't do before."
