In 1972, he co-founded Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers, a venture-capital firm that helped establish more than 300 companies, including Compaq and Sun Microsystems...
Otellini offers an unusual perspective for his industry: that good marketing makes all the difference. Pushing a distinctive product like Centrino or Pentium, Intel's previous success story, is almost as important to him as the chips themselves. "Our whole job," he says, "is to create demand." He has done just that--including for himself. --By Chris Taylor
