WHO…? WHAT…? WHEN…? WHERE…?

Bill Gates is very much a “hands-on” company chairman. He is often to be seen on the company campus, checking on the progress of his staff. He listens to their ideas and gives them frank and open feedback. He is able to do this because he knows his chief subject, software architecture, intimately. He began programming computers at the age of 13, while he was still at school in Seattle. Later, while studying at Harvard, Gates developed a version of BASIC computer language for the first microcomputer. But this scientific fascination with computers was matched by a talent for recognizing a business opportunity. He has a vision of computers in every home and office, and in 1975, together with his childhood friend Paul Allen, he founded Microsoft, focusing initially on the development of software for personal computers. Soon afterwards, he dropped out of university. His ability to predict future applications for computers and software has been the foundation of his phenomenal success. Gates is also a noted philanthropist who donated the proceeds of his successful books to non-profit educational organizations. He has also given millions to initiatives in global health and learning, hoping to enable more and more people to have access to vital facilities in these areas.
