Obama's big tech powwow invite list: A few stunning omissions

By | February 17, 2011, 2:40pm PST

Summary: If the goals are to support entrepreneurship, increase exports and get the American people back to work, I could think of a few tech executives who should be invited to Obama’s tech meeting in San Francisco.

President Obama’s attendee list for a technology and innovation powwow leaves a lot to be desired.

If the goals are to support entrepreneurship, increase exports and get the American people back to work, I could think of a few tech executives who should be invited to Obama’s tech meeting in San Francisco.

Via the LA Times, the local invites include:

  • John Doerr, partner, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
  • Carol Bartz, president and CEO, Yahoo!
  • John Chambers, CEO and chairman, Cisco Systems
  • Dick Costolo, CEO, Twitter
  • Larry Ellison, co-founder and CEO, Oracle
  • Reed Hastings, CEO, NetFlix
  • John Hennessy, president, Stanford University
  • Steve Jobs, chairman and CEO, Apple
  • Art Levinson, chairman and former CEO, Genentech
  • Eric Schmidt, chairman and CEO, Google
  • Steve Westly, managing partner and founder, Westly Group
  • Mark Zuckerberg, founder, president and CEO, Facebook

That list is fine as far as it goes, but it seems a bit glam and even includes an exec (Bartz) that is still cutting American workers. For a more substantial discussion, Obama should have invited the following:

  • Sam Palmisano, CEO of IBM: All Big Blue did this week was advance artificial intelligence and capture the imagination of the American people as Watson played Jeopardy. And oh by the way, IBM employs a lot of people. Costolo from Twitter? Not nearly as many people employed.
  • Leo Apotheker, CEO of HP: HP also can put a lot of people to work and innovates too. I’d put Apotheker at Ellison’s table just for giggles.
  • Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon: Obama clearly has his Web 2.0 goggles on. Bezos happens to have this cloud-friendly business called Amazon Web Services that enables a lot of entrepreneurs to launch infrastructure on the cheap.
  • Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. Ballmer takes his lumps, but surely has a few ideas about how to make the U.S. more innovative. Alternate: Bill Gates.
  • Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com. You want cloud? Benioff is Captain Cloud. Besides, he’s another one to put at Ellison’s table. Proposed seating order: Benioff, Ellison, Apotheker.

You could add more to the invite list, but those aforementioned five tech honchos are glaring omissions.

IBM is still lame... And no one cares what Ballmer has to say...

This is about bringing players to the table that actually have something to bring. Innovators, not imitators, people with ideas, not Redmond copiers. Ballmer doesn?t have a clue about anything, and neither do Palmisano, Apotheker, Bezos, and Benioff. I?m actually surprised that Obama asked Schmidt to be there. The only thing Schmidt can offer is the advice to copy Apple.

And why where you not invited? You seem to believe you are full of insight, I wonder why Mr. Obama did not invite someone of your keen understanding of the tech world.

i love mdn's take on the matter:
"Unless Obama is planning on jumping around screaming and sweating profusely during his next major speech, Uncle Fester can?t offer him anything useful beyond a few laughs. We assume the point of the dinner is to explore ways of increasing productivity, not smothering it to death; to lead the world, not follow others around like a brain-damaged puppy dog. The country?s in enough trouble already. That?s why Steve Ballmer wasn?t invited to Obama?s innovation dinner."

You're completely off base and repeating a baseless meme about MS not innovating... I hate MS as much as any free software communist and don't like to use their software, but the undeniable reality is you're wrong.

The iPhone is arguably just a copy of Windows Mobile 6. Do you see what I did there? I used the same argument that you did.

When any of the companies microsoft "copies" have the enterprise market share that Microsoft has... Then we'll talk. Microsoft continues to innovate and invent in the enterprise, and often sets the standard for what enterprise software should be. What standard do we compare authentication systems to? We compare them to Active Directory. What do we compare Google apps to? Exchange. How many companies use Lotus Notes over exchange? (I'll give you a hint very few). How more companies have OSX Server installed than Windows Server (not many).

Microsoft's impact on the job market/economy is HUGE due to it's ecosystem. There are studies that prove that and Obama's omission of Balmer shows he really doesn't understand the tech industry and who creates or can create jobs.

As for "followers" PLEASE this is the tech industry. Google is clearly trying to come out with their own version of every Microsoft and Apple product. There's a lot of copying going on, but it is CLEARLY not only in Redmond. Why don't you try to think for yourself instead of going along with "group think" as portrayed by the media who is only at the service of pushing Google and Apple stock higher.

@i8thecat It's incredibly misinformed, ill-informed, or just plain stupid comments like this, and the people who make them that have reduced my interest in ZDNet to reading the articles, and not even bothering to see what kind of ridiculous beyond bias comments are made. From now on, I'll stick to posting the links to my Facebook wall, and making my comments there, and participating in the discussion with some intelligent people I am friends with there.

Unfortunately, IBM is one of those companies whose main interests include offshoring workers in the US, building facilities outside of the US, and importing labour.

Apple can't really do much except provide advice on how to stamp out entrepreneurship, such as beating people down with a 30% off-the-top fee for... well, existing.

@alsobannedfromzdnet you bring up an interesting point. Apple does employ many people in its stores and has many stores!!!! That must have some measureable positive effect on local economies! I think the same for companies like IBM and Microsoft as well. Nearly every business in America has some version of an MS product or IBM, DELL, or HP server... Looking at the list of invites I find that most of these companies barely compare to the job creating reach you mention! Facebook doesn?t employee many people in my area... I know Google doesn't. Oracle indirectly employs a sizeable number...

Also, why not Bill Gates (maybe he didn't want to attend)? With all of the education work and civil service the Bill and Malinda Gated Foundation does...!!!???? He could have been a good contributor.

In Chicagoland, the three Apple stores are in Downtown Chicago on Michigan Avenue (next to Aberchrombie, Burberry etc), Oak Brook and Naperville.

Oak Brook and Naperville have median incomes of around $150K. These areas really needed to be revitalized. Especially as Naperville was #2 in the best places to live in America not so long ago. Now they can shoot for #1!!!!

If the healthcare law is so good, why are hundreds of large and small
adornoe@... Updated - 18th Feb 2011
companies getting waivers from the program?

And, it's quite apparent that the "stupid" one in this discussion has been, you, i8thecat.

Instead of creating jobs, it's going to be a jobs killer, and instead of improving the health of Americans, it's going to make things worse with fewer people getting medical degrees, and more people being tossed into the "free" category for medical services with even fewer doctors to take care of them. That's stupidity at it's worst.

The fact is that, with government healthcare, if people don't want to pay, they can't be forced to pay. And, with people seeing as how it's to their advantage to go with the government plan because it would seem to be cheaper, millions more people will become dependent upon the government and more people will retire earlier because, it's going to be another "free" government service, and people won't have to work as long or as hard. Once you get everybody entering the government plan, you'll end up with no real services being rendered because, it's going to be unsustainable with just a relative few paying into the plan. And, no, raising taxes won't help because, the tax base will have been reduced due to so much being taken from private industry that, people could not be hired.

It's the simple-minded, like i8thecat, who can't follow through to the repercussions of more and more government mandates.

But, this sub-discussion is all for nought because, government healthcare, with its mandate for purchasing, is for certain going to be ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

adornoe@... Updated - 18th Feb 2011
because it's clearly you that isn't using his brains and is posting nonsense and ignorant comments.

While Bush was president, some 8 million jobs were created, and the economy grew at it's fastest pace in the history of the country, and government tax revenues set records because the economy was so productive that the tax base, people and companies, was able to pay more. And he did that while fighting 3 wars, and getting the country to recover from 9/11 and major disasters, such as Katrina. He also did it while getting the country to recover from the recession that Clinton left him in 2000.

Look, it's quite apparent that you're too ignorant to even be commenting about anything, so, why don't you go back to school and come back 10 years from now when you will have grown up and might have a bit more knowledge to help you in formulating some, perhaps credible, arguments.

IBM and HP are *not* American companies
terry flores 17th Feb 2011
They may have vestigial traces or an HQ left in the US, but these are both multi-national conglomerates who have little interest in helping the US or its citizens. IBM goes to great lengths to keep profits offshore to avoid taxes. HP laid off 25,000 workers in the US and backfilled most of the positions with low-paid Indian and Chinese labor. HP's CEO announced just today that "We need to get way more business done in markets other than the U.S."

So far Steve Ballmer has shown to be a follower, turning MS into a "me-too" company since he took over from Gates.

Gates was a techie who needed Ballmer and other business-savvy people
adornoe@... 18th Feb 2011
to get his technical work converted into a money producing enterprise.

Without the business savvy of Ballmer and others, Microsoft would still be a local mom-and-pop software operation somewhere in smallville.

Gates was not a visionary and was someone who possessed very good technical skills, but he wasn't a businessperson. He was "forced" into becoming a businessperson because of the need for the "founder" to be out in front of the operation. Otherwise, he would've been content to have worked in the background and to let the businesspeople handle operations. But, he did finally do that when he retired from the day-to-day operations, leaving Ballmer in charge.

Our Socialist Chief
pizzaman7 Updated - 18th Feb 2011
Please don't be fooled into thinking Barry really wants to grow our economy. If so then we would be drilling for our own oil in this country of which we have plenty. He would stop his insane government spending which is clearly not working, and he would stop his over-the-top regulations that stifle free enterprise.

Barry wants wealth distribution to come from the hard-working producers and he doesn't care if he breaks the system in doing so. His actions speak louder than this grand rehearsed speeches that are getting laughable at this point.

The first thing we need to do is cut spending massively. Quite spending $1.65 trillion that we don't have.

The only way to grow jobs and the economy is cut spending, cut regulations, and cut taxes (we are 2nd highest in corp taxes in the world). Businesses are under constant threat of new regulations that they have no certainty what the future holds. No one has confidence in this economy.

Socialism has failed time and time again and it is failing now.

Its very much an assist for california as well since ca is a big democrat state with big donations. As for HP, maybe if they stopped massive outsourcing they would get a seat. Salesforce I can understand, they will be very important in the coming years.

But we can't assume they weren't invited. Plus, you can't invite everyone on the planet otherwise I would say, how about ebay, vmware, netapp, etc. That would be a mighty big room and lots of arguing.

Actually, the least qualified person in the conference is, Obama,
adornoe@... 18th Feb 2011
since he has no clues about innovation or about creating or running a business, or about how jobs are created.

He should relinquish his seat to someone in government that has run a business and has created jobs. Should Obama be involved at all? Sure, after the conference is over, he can get reports about how the really qualified would like to create jobs and businesses, and how government should or should not be involved. Other than that, Obama's presence will just turn the conference into a show, to try to impress the people about how he's trying to get the country and economy back on track, but, he has no credibility on the economy, and the best that he can do right now is to remain on the sidelines, and allow the people that really know how to create businesses and jobs, go to work.

I'm confused about what makes Apple (Jobs) qualified to advise on these topics. Quick question... How many students have you met that internship at Apple? How many people do you know that know someone who works at Apple. They have few jobs, and no foward thinking outside of their own company. In addition, the "Apple Store" has no real bearing on the economy. Think about it, the number of people working at Apple stores is easily less then that of say coldstone. Imagine if coldstone went out of business... We'd miss the amazing icecream but that's about the only real impact. Same with the apple store.

I realize the comments about balmer made earlier have some validity, But I think Bill Gates would be much better to have then Jobs. He has a broder perspective then Jobs. He can see the broader picture and do it in a way that dosn't just support one company.

Second Idea:
-each of the invited companys sends their brightest intern or young employee. They usualy see the future a little better and have less reason to manuver for their company.
