Fifteen thought leaders who intend to influence and inspire the IT industry
nspiration is one of those overused words. How many people really move you to action or motivate you with their achievements? Probably very few.
InformationWeek sought, and found, 15 people who are inspirational in the IT industry. Their past innovations and their visions for the year ahead set them apart as Innovators and Influencers. These thought leaders are busy founding, funding, and running the businesses that will affect this industry and others. When Stanford economist A. Michael Spence speaks, Silicon Valley listens. When RightWorks founder Vani Kola seeks funding, venture capitalists respond. If sociologist Elliott Masie reconsiders E-learning, businesses take notice.
What keeps these leaders going strong may be their passion for work and for play. And when former Carolina Power & Light CIO Carolyn Osborne says, "As a breast cancer survivor, you learn to face fears and realize that nothing can't be overcome," you understand what inspiration truly means.--Paula Klein
