> “He was a famous businessman, the founder of a major company in the U.S. and the world, and of course he was very, very proud of that and it was huge achievement in his life, but it wasn’t his focus — really, his family was,” Nancy “Nan” Geschke, 78, told the Mercury News on Saturday. “He always called himself the luckiest man in the world.”
I haven’t heard of Geschke before this but that may actually be a reason I believe this description. So many other technology giants have egos and cult-like personas and a need to be visible and known. It sounds like Geschke was a humble and balanced man who knew his priorities in life. Rest In Peace.
- kiba 6y agoWhich CEO? Elon Musk? I heard that it was a deliberate strategy. I remembered him saying that he needs to become a celebrity. Otherwise, I don't know any flamboyant CEO with giant egos. Beside, I now think of Adobe as a company with a negative legacy with anti-user features.
