Expand Your Mind: 12 Greatest Modern Entrepreneurs
by Miki Saxon
A couple of weeks ago I linked to stories about great women entrepreneurs. Today we’ll look at the guys.
A contributor at Fortune created a list of what he considers the 12 greatest entrepreneurs of our time.
They are Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Fred Smith, Jeff Bezos, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Howard Schultz, Mark Zukerberg, John Mackey, Herb Kelleher, Narayana Murthy, Sam Walton, Muhammad Yunus
These founders created and then nurtured healthy, sustainable organizations that now have a combined market value of more than $1.7 trillion. They directly employ more than 3 million people…
Each of their companies sits at the nucleus of a thriving ecosystem that has cultivated and nurtured dozens if not hundreds of other enterprises.
There is a short profile of each at the link; considering it’s a kind of holiday weekend that’s enough reading.
