Why you need to attend
Raving reviews from Business Week's "The Last Man Standing against
Microsoft?," ranking him with the likes of Steve Jobs, Michael Dell and
Bill Gates, Manager Magazin "The German Bill Gates," Spiegel "The Brain
behind the Cell Phone," etc., mark Marco Boerries's vertical takeoff as
youngest entrepreneur, visionary, innovator and businessman: The
founding CEO of Star Division GmbH, Star Finanz GmbH, Germany, and Star
Division Corp, USA, former Sun Microsystems Vice President & General
Manager and founding CEO of Verdisoft Corp, Palo Alto, will speak from
his own experience about the challenges of establishing a German
start-up in Silicon Valley and the differences between European and
American corporate cultures.
Marco founded Star Division at age 16, dropping out of high school to
pursue his vision of creating an alternative to Microsoft software.
Marco sold StarOffice to Sun Microsystems on August 5, 1999 - four days
after his 31st birthday. Over 25 million licenses of the flagship
StarOffice product have been sold worldwide.
