About this entry

Parts of this entry are out of date. It is published anyway, because an incomplete record that invites correction is more useful than no record at all.

Person

Who this is

Co-founder, chairman and chief executive of America Online, and later chairman of AOL Time Warner. Since 2005, chairman and chief executive of Revolution, the Washington investment firm.

Younger brother of Dan Case. He founded Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure with Dan in 2001 and has chaired it since.

The record

Where this intersects the work

Each entry below carries its own provenance — the source, and how it was processed. That is the condition on which this graph can be extended by anyone without degrading.

The trail exists so that people who were there can reconstruct their own memories, recognize what they helped incubate, and add to or correct the record — or forward the few pages that belong to someone they know.

c. 2005–06

Revolution Health

Bill Hambrecht introduced Jonathan Hare to Steve Case after Dan's death. Hare met him and John Pleasants at Revolution Health when it had just launched — Case as chairman, Pleasants as president and chief executive.

Revolution Health Group launched in July 2005 with an unusual board: alongside Case, it included Colin Powell, Carly Fiorina, Frank Raines, Jim Barksdale and Miles Gilburne. Its stated goal was to put consumers at the center of the health system, giving them greater control, choice and convenience.

That is, almost word for word, the problem Hare would spend the following decade on at Resilient Network Systems — and it is the same wall the Markle Foundation council hit: consumer-controlled health data requires a trust layer that did not exist.
