A secret call to Andy Grove that may have helped Apple buy NeXT (2018)
Slightly Off Topic.<p>I consider both Andy Grove and Steve Jobs as the greatest CEO ever lived in Silicon Valley. ( Sorry it is hard to pick just one between the two )<p>Current Generation are Patrick Gelsinger ( VMware ), Jensen Huang ( Nvidia ). Satya Nadella ( Microsoft ) and Lisa Su ( AMD ) are two possible candidate but I think it is still too early to tell.<p>Sometimes if I think if I did't set the bar so high for Apple, Tim Cook would be on the list as well. But their doing on Mac still leaves a bad taste in my mouth so I am not quite over with it yet.<p>What other Great CEO are there in Silicon Valley's history?<p>Edit: Looking at this list just now makes me realise all the CEO I considered as <i>great</i> are product CEO. Which sort of got me thinking as to why I don like Tim Cook as much, he is simply not a product person.
