Who have been some influential leaders (Founders, CEOs) in the industry over the past 20 years?

Over the past 20 years, the IT industry has been rapidly evolving and transforming thanks to the will power of their founders and CEOs. Mark Zuckerberg is the founder of the now famous facebook, the newest social network website that has completely changed our lives. Thanks to his determination, he managed to create the most famous and wanted websites of all, surpassing even Google.

Right now facebook is a private limited company, which means that it is only privately owned and does not sell their shares on the stock market but they do sell the shares within the company. Facebook was first founded in 2003 and it was created only for college students at Harvard to be in touch, share pictures and know what was going on in the school. However, since it became so successful, Mark decided to expand this network in a worldwide scale. I am sure that he has been a great inspiration for everyone and a lot of people who tried to come up with similar ideas tried to make it similar to the facebook network.

I personally think that Mark Zuckemberg has been one of the most inflectional people that there is been in the past 20 years along with Bill Gates who introduced the Personal Computer and completely revolutionized the way we live.
