JACK DORSEY (CEO OF TWITTER)

Jack Patrick Dorsey is an American billionaire technology entrepreneur and

philanthropist who is the co-founder and CEO of Twitter, and the founder and
CEO of Square, a financial payments company. The most recent high-profile
was that of Twitter co-founder Jack
Dorsey to his position as chief
executive. The swap out with Dick
Costolo in june followed a spat of post-
IPO user growth issues for the
company. Dorsey reportedly said his
reinstatement in an interim capacity
was not a result of company
performance but of Costolo beeing
ready to move on. The move has left twitter in a bit of lurch in terms of
permanent executive leadership, especially as Dorsey awaits the IPO of the
other company he leads, Square.

Howard Schultz
Howard D. Schultz is an American businessman and author. He served as the
chairman and chief executive officer of the Starbucks Coffee Company from
1986 to 2000, and then again from 2008 to 2017. Schultz also owned the
Seattle SuperSonics basketball team from 2001 to 2006. NBC reffering to
Starbucks as a “struggling chain of coffee houses” is a bit hard to imagine now,
thanks in part to Howard Schultz replacing Jim Donald as CEO in 2008.
Schultz had previously held the role
from 1987-2000. He has continued
in his role as chairman since
resuming his post as CEO. The day
after Schultz was reinstated, the
stock jumped about 8% it had been
down 50% the year prior. After
taking back the helm, he was known
for making personal phone calls to
stores to see how things were going
and for the first time in the
company’s history, seeking advice from outside consultants, according to
Business Insider

Michael Dell
Michael Saul Dell is an American billionaire businessman and philanthropist.
He is the founder, chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies, one of the world's
largest technology infrastructure companies. The Dell founder’s decision to
 seize back control of the computer
company he founded as a startup
from his college dorm was “a sign of
the crisis facing Dell” the wall Street
Journal reported at the time. Buying
behavior in PCs was going through a
transformation in 2007 when then-
CEO Kevin Rollins was swapped for
his predecessor. The SEC was investigating the company’s accounting
practices and several executives had jumped ship, CNET reported at the time.
Michael Dell bought out the company two years ago.

Larry Page
Lawrence Edward Page is an American business magnate, computer scientist,
and Internet entrepreneur. He is best known as one of the co-founders of
Google, along with Sergey
Brin. Larry Page ceded the role
of CEO at google to Eric
Schmidt in 2001, then
resumed the executive role in
2010. Schmidt still continues
as executive chairman, now
for Alphabet. Quartz called
this “lost decade” for the
company’s co- founder “the
best thing to ever happen to
Google”. Page returned to the role with a fresh vision, learning for example that
encouraging senior managers to argue wasn’t successful leadership tactic

Steve Jobs
Steven Paul Jobs was an American business magnate, industrial designer,
investor, and media proprietor. He was the chairman, chief executive officer
(CEO), and co-founder of Apple Inc.; the chairman and majority shareholder of
Pixar; a member of The Walt Disney ...
Perhaps the most iconic and triumphant
return was that of Steve Jobs, who left
the company he co-founded in 1985.
(The story goes that then-CEO John
Sculley fired Jobs, but Sculley has it
points denied that that wwas the case.)
When Jobs returned in 1997 to become,
as he said at the time, “interim CEO”,
the company was on the brink of
bankruptcy. “At that point, only Steve
Jobs could have received the business. There’s no way I could have ever done
the things Steve Jobs did,” Sculley later told CNN. You probably don’t need to
be told what happened next. You know, the iPod, iPad, iPhone, and per
Bloomberg a market capitalization that catapulted from $3 billion in 1997 to
$350 billion in 2011.
