Steve Paul Jobs (born February 24, 1955) was the
American co-founder,
Chairman and
CEO of
Apple Inc, and was the CEO of
Pixar Animation Studios until it was acquired by the
Walt Disney Company in
2006. Jobs is currently the Walt Disney Company's largest individual shareholder and a member of its
Board of Directors. He is considered a leading figure in both the
computer and
entertainment industries. He is also widely credited as the inventor of the Macintosh, the iPod, the iTunes Store, and the iPhone. Jobs's history in business has contributed greatly to the myths of the quirky, individualistic
Silicon Valley entrepreneur, emphasizing the importance of
design while understanding the crucial role aesthetics play in public appeal. Together with Apple co-founder
Steve Wozniak, Jobs helped popularize the
personal computer in the late '70s. In the early '80s, still at Apple, Jobs was among the first to see the
commercial potential of the
mouse-driven
GUI. After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985, Jobs resigned from Apple and founded
NeXT, a
computer platform development company specializing in the higher education and business markets. Next's subsequent 1997
buyout by Apple brought Jobs back to the company he co-founded, and he has served as its chief executive officer since shortly after his return.
