You might have read one of my posts from a while back regarding a highlight during my career. I may have mentioned that we met with Steve Jobs and his top managers at the Pagoda and afterwards we all had dinner at the Bernardsville Inn. This was back before Jobs got back in to lead Apple again. I sat directly across the conference room table from Jobs during the meeting and listened carefully to get insights into how he approached business and innovation.
I first became more than casually aware of Jobs and Wozniak back in the late 1970s when as a young engineer working at IBM I would go to the company library after hours to read stuff including business magazines. I was reading a magazine issue, I think it was Fortune magazine, that gave overviews and photos of consequential CEOs of the time. Steve and Woz stood out wearing more casual tieless shirts while all the other CEOs were in business suits.
Steve was my age and while I was growing as a young systems engineer he and Woz were already making an impact on the technology world!
So the moment wasn’t lost on me when decades later we met, had dinner together (in a group of about 10) and he invited us to attend the premiere of his other company’s first of its kind computer animated blockbuster, Toy Story, if we would be out in LA at the time.
Jobs changed the world and put in place what would become the highest market cap and first trillion dollar cap company ever. It’s extremely humbling in comparison with the interesting things, situations, and places, in my career amounting to less than the roundoff error in Jobs’ lasting and guiding impact on the whole world!!!
Although I don’t hero worship in general, you have to give the guy his due, and nobody should have to end their life of accomplishment in the suffering of cancer, and at least publicly poised and thoughtful.
This takes us full circle back to DCVax and nwbo. Imagine how impactful this promising breakthrough treatment platform can become!!!
