Person

Who this is

Co-founder of Mohr Davidow Ventures, and before that the Intel marketing executive behind Operation Crush and the author of Marketing High Technology. Added on Jonathan Hare's ruling (S-191) with no meeting claimed. His The Virtual Corporation (1992) — written with Michael S. Malone, one of the twenty-two narrators of the Jobs documentary — described the networked, partner-assembled firm two decades before the record's coordination architecture gave that idea an infrastructure; it is on this graph because the lineage of the idea belongs on the record.
