Jack Dorsey is an American software architect and businessperson best known as the creator of Twitter. He took Twitter through an order of magnitude of growth and two major rounds of financing, while safely navigating some very rocky waters that would have taken even more experienced leaders down with the ship. He is also the co-founder and CEO of the new credit card payment device Square. MIT’s Technology Review named him in the TR35, an outstanding innovator under the age of 35.

BusinessWeek called Jack Dorsey one of technology’s “best and brightest”

In detail

Originally from St. Louis, Jack Dorsey’s early interest in real-time messaging lead him to Manhattan where he wrote dispatch software for taxis, couriers and emergency 911 centres. Throughout his work on dispatch, medical, and ticketing systems, he kept discovering the concept of ‘status’ updates, which helped fuel the ideas behind Twitter, a global utility connecting people in real-time through short updates from wherever they are.

What he offers you

Jack Dorsey talks about his ideas about what makes Twitter interesting and explains three words that are key to the success of Twitter: Immediacy, transparancy and approachability. He also explains his idea for Square: anyone with a mobile phone can accept credit card payments, promising a refreshingly simple system for cutting through the red tape.

How he presents

Jack Dorsey’s eye opening presentations are current, highly insightful and eloquently delivered.
