Eric Schmidt

Nacido: April 27, 1955 – Falls Church, Virginia, United States

Eric Schmidt is a technology executive and author whose writing centers on innovation, internet strategy, artificial intelligence, and geopolitics.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor

Eric Schmidt was born on April 27, 1955, in Washington, D.C., and trained first as an engineer, taking a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering at Princeton and then a master’s degree and Ph.D. in computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. His early career ran through some of the most important technical institutions of the late twentieth century, including Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, Zilog, Sun Microsystems, and Novell. The decisive turning point came in 2001, when Google’s founders brought him in as chairman and chief executive; over the next decade he helped turn a fast-growing search company into a global technology platform.
