I started starting companies as a result of Silicon Valley age discrimination experiences around when I was 40. It was clearly a situation that could not be effectively overcome or negotiated with. So the obvious answer: "If I'm the boss, I won't age-discriminate against myself nor others: problem solved". The one advantage I had was working in Sales and Marketing in addition to R&D at Hewlett-Packard so I got the VERY BEST of industry training in all those areas on HP's dime. So those roles include the CEO role were quite easy for me on my own.
