STEVEN PAUL JOBS 

(Cofounder of Apple Computer, Inc. (now Apple Inc)

From February 24, 1955, to October 5, 2011, Steven Paul Jobs was an American businessman, industrial designer, media mogul, and investor. He was Pixar's majority shareholder as well as Apple's co-founder, chairman, and CEO. After Pixar was acquired by The Walt Disney Company, he was also the chairman and majority shareholder of that company, as well as the founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. He is widely acknowledged as one of the pioneers of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with Steve Wozniak, who was also a co-founder of Apple and an early business colleague of his. In 1985, Jobs was expelled from Apple after a prolonged power struggle with the board of directors and the company's then-CEO, John Sculley. Furthermore, he contributed to building the special visualizations industry when he financed the PC designs division of George Lucas' Lucasfilm in 1986. The first 3D computer-animated feature film, Toy Story (1995), was produced by the new company, which went on to become Pixar. Since then, Pixar has become a significant animation studio, producing over 25 films. Jobs returned to NeXT as CEO after Apple purchased the company in 1997. Apple's rebirth was significantly influenced by him. He teamed up intimately with English creator Jony Ive to make a line of items that had a more prominent social effect. The "Think Different" advertising campaign, the iMac, iPad, iPod, iPhone, iTunes, and iTunes Store were all part of this product line. The brand-new Mac OS X, which is now referred to as macOS and was developed using NeXT's NeXT STEP architecture, succeeded the original Mac OS in 2001 and provided the operating system with its first modern Unix-based foundation.
