Tim has a proven track record of convening conversations that reshape the computer industry - from organizing the meeting where the term “open source software” was agreed on, to defining how “Web 2.0” represented not only the resurgence of the web after the dot com bust, but a new model for the computer industry, based on big data, collective intelligence, and the internet as a platform. He has now turned his attention to implications of AI, the on-demand economy, and other technologies that are transforming the nature of work and the future shape of the business world. The focus of O’Reilly Media is to change the world by spreading and amplifying the knowledge of innovators and urges companies to create more value than they capture.
“Knowing who people actually are is key to using personal data effectively in the 21st century while also preserving privacy,” said Tim O’Reilly, founder and CEO, O’Reilly Media. “The tools Senzing has developed to democratize entity resolution are a foundation for responsible data management. I am excited to help the company - and more than that, to help build a movement for greater trust between companies and their customers.”

He joined IBM Research in 1980, leading the development of high performance silicon:germanium communications technology, then went on to lead both IBM’s highly successful Analog and Mixed Signal business, as well as global semiconductor development alliances.
