Founder and CEO, O'Reilly Media (formerly O'Reilly & Associates.) Technical book publisher who learned that the right way to market my books was to market the technologies behind them. As a result, I and my company played a crucial role in evangelizing the world wide web, the perl programming language, linux, open source, xml, web services. Expanded into online publishing, conferences, magazines, and early stage venture investing. Interested in getting to know people on the cutting edge -- I think of my role as changing the future by helping to capture and spread the knowledge of innovators. I sometimes call my company's edge in trendspotting "watching the alpha geeks."
I am on the board...
