Timothy Chou I Digital Leadership Podcast | Alchemists Accelerator

The Alchemist Accelerator

In this week’s podcast, Ken Forster interviews Timothy Chou, Chairman of the Alchemists Accelerator.

Dr. Chou is considered one of the early leaders in moving enterprises to the cloud beginning with his tenure as President of Oracle On Demand. In 2004 he published the landmark book, The End of Software, which foretold the rise of enterprise SaaS and featured three startups: Salesforce, NetSuite and VMWare. In 2005 he launched the first class on cloud computing at Stanford University, cs309a.stanford.edu. Today he is the Chairman of the Alchemist Accelerator and serves on two public company boards: Blackbaud and Teradata. Much of his time is focused on the Pediatric Cloud Project, a project to connect all 1,000,000 healthcare machines in all the children’s hospitals in the world.
