Speaker's Biography:

Scott  McNealy Scott McNealy
Chairman and Co-Founder, Sun Microsystems

Scott McNealy is Chairman of the board of Sun Microsystems, a company he co-founded in 1982. He is also Chairman of Sun Federal Inc. From 1984 to 2006, McNealy served as CEO and chairman at Sun, steering the company to innovation in open, network computing. In his 22 years at the helm, he grew Sun from a Silicon Valley startup to a leading provider of network computing infrastructure with 37,900 employees worldwide. Today, Java powers over 3.5 billion devices; Sun's Solaris is one of only three remaining operating systems in the marketplace; the Niagara chip is a leading, high-performance, low-power sustainable technology; and the world's most advanced multi-core system, SPARC, is taking market share. McNealy's vision of network computing has served as a guide and barometer for the direction and pace of technology innovation. For more than a decade, he has been advancing Sun's slogan, "The Network Is the Computer," a statement of the company's vision of seamless connectivity that is now driving the Participation Age. McNealy received a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard University and an MBA from Stanford University.
