Larry Page is a One, Andy Rubin is a One, Eric Schmidt was a Two, and Sundar Pichai is a Two. I think Jonathan Rosenberg is a Functional One for product (he left when Larry became CEO, before I had a good sense of Google internal politics, and seems to have come back now that Sundar is CEO of Google). Marissa Mayer is a One. Make of that what you will - IMHO it explains much of the executive changeover in a couple different Silicon Valley tech companies over the last couple years.
