Scott McNealy
Chairman, CEO and President
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Wednesday, 8:30 am - 10:00 am, Halls A/B

Sun Microsystems--a company which Scott McNealy helped to found in 1982--is the quintessential Silicon Valley success story. In just 15 years, the company has dramatically surfed the rightsizing wave in corporate computing to become the leading global supplier of networked computer systems, with 1996 revenue of more than seven billion dollars. For more than a decade, McNealy has been advancing Sun's networked vision and slogan-"The Network is the Computer." Now, according to BusinessWeek: "Sun's mantra has begun to resonate around the Globe..."

McNealy draws much of his early experience from the auto business. Since taking the reins as CEO at Sun in 1984, he has steered the company to constant growth and profitability. In the process, the company has maintained its reputation as a strong competitor and a constant innovator. In '95, Sun was named one of the worlds' 100 best-managed companies (by Industry Week) and McNealy himself as one of the nation's top 25 managers (by BusinessWeek). The Technical Business Research Group have recently rated Sun the #1 technology company, praising its market, technology, product, manufacturing and management strategies.
