Positioning and Mike Markkula
2/10/2006I was reading Jack Trout’s Differentiate or Die after a late supper, when I noticed the a short citation to Mike Markkula. Markkula is a definite Finnish surname and thus I jumped to my Mac to Google more info for it. I found the following;
In 1977, Markkula brought his business expertise along with USD$250,000 to buy one-third of Apple Computer. He also brought in Apple Computer’s first CEO, Michael Scott, then took the job himself from 1981 to 1983. Markkula served as chairman from 1985 until 1997, when a new board was formed after Jobs returned to the company.

The Finnish Wikipedia tells us that his grandparents were Finnish expatriotes that moved to the US in 1883.
