Under the leadership of Stanford-educated George Kurian, data warehousing giant Net App has bounced back to post healthy returns. The company’s fortunes have been turned around by the work of the ex-Oracle man. Tough decisions have been taken along the way, the most being laying off of about 1500 employees in early 2016. Cloud storage brought massive disruption to the industry Net App is in. but that was fought using some innovative techniques.

Kurian is himself a great fan of Abraham Lincoln whose role as a leader has profoundly impacted him.
