Dr. Timothy Chou began his career at one of the first Silicon Valley startups, Tandem Computers. He was also the first president of Oracle’s multibillion-dollar cloud business. Today, Tim serves as a board member of two public companies: Blackbaud, which provides application cloud services for social good, and Teradata, a cloud data warehouse company. In parallel with his commercial career, Tim has taught at Stanford University for over 30 years. For 15 years he taught core computer architecture, and only took a break because he had to fly to Bali for a sales kickoff meeting and get back within 36 hours to teach class. After leaving Oracle, Tim went back to Stanford and started the first class on cloud computing. One of his most notorious students was Dr. Anthony Chang, who inspired a moonshot mission to transform children’s health care globally based on access, use, and sharing of data from 1,000,000 health-care machines in all 500 children’s hospitals in the world. Dr. Chang founded BevelCloud, an edge cloud service provider, to be the global infrastructure for this ambitious project.
