84 - George Kurian, NetApp CEO: A Twin and a Team Builder

George Kurian is the CEO of NetApp, a storage technology company whose stock market value is more than $20 billion. Normally I like to start off talking about what makes my guests unique. But in this case, George has a lot in common with another Silicon Valley tech executive named Kurian – his twin brother Thomas is president at Oracle.  George and I could spend a lot of time talking about how unlikely it is that anyone climbs to the top level of a multi-billion-dollar Silicon Valley tech company, much less that two brothers would do it. We did talk about that a bit. But we also talked about strategy, and the challenges he's faced leading in a period of rapid change.  I sat down with George Kurian at the New York Stock Exchange, three years into his tenure as NetApp CEO.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
