Steve Ballmer
Steve Ballmer is an American businessman who served as CEO of Microsoft from 2000 to 2014, succeeding Bill Gates.
He became known for his aggressive, high-energy style—most famously in a viral video where he bounds across a stage shouting "developers, developers, developers." Since leaving Microsoft, Ballmer has owned the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team.
His tenure at Microsoft saw both Windows dominance and missed opportunities in mobile computing.
