Steve Jobs was Apple's Bill Gates. Tim Cook is Apple's Steve Ballmer - great businessman, but very little charisma or vision. It's remarkable how reliably these patterns repeat. Sundar Pichai is Google's Steve Ballmer as well.
- Despegar 7y agoI think Pichai is Google's Ballmer, but I don't think that applies to Apple at all. The better comparison for Cook is Bob Iger.
- m0zg 7y agoI think you're vastly underestimating the business acumen of Ballmer. His personal antics and lack of filter notwithstanding, he (and not Satya) is the only reason why Microsoft is a $1T+ company today: he was the one who started Azure and SaaS/subscriptions at Microsoft.
