Jeff Bezos

Microsoft founder Bill Gates writes: "Genuine pioneers don't stop after just one discovery or innovation. They are driven to build on their accomplishments and to follow them into new frontiers." He was speaking about Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com which ushered in the brave new world of internet commerce; and the mind behind Kindle, the ebook platform that blazed the road for what has become the eBook Reformation or eBook Revolution, affecting, even transforming, publishers, authors and readers. As if that's not enough, Jeff has also ventured into a new frontier--space--forming Blue Origin, a company developing vehicles to transport mankind to into man's last frontier. So Bill Gates is right, Jeff is "one of those insatiable pioneers of business and technology." Award-winning author Daniel Alef tells Jeff Bezos's amazing story, from his childhood years on his grandfather's ranch to the executive suites he now so well occupies. Jeff's story is not only informative and interesting, it is inspiring and thought provoking. [7,455-word Titans of Fortune biographical profile]
