Vivek Wadhwa is an Indian-American technology entrepreneur and academic.
Early career
Wadhwa worked as Vice President of Information Services at Credit Suisse First Boston; as Chief Technology Officer of Seer Technologies, a technology company that developed out of Credit Suisse's IT business unit; and then as CEO of Relativity Technologies, a spinoff from Seer Technologies.
At Credit Suisse First Boston, Wadhwa led the development of a computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tool to develop client-server model software. First Boston spent $150 million on these development efforts. The CASE technology was spun off by First Boston into Seer Technologies in 1990 with an investment of $20 million by IBM[1].
Seer Technologies filed for an IPO in May 1995.[2]
Academic and public life
Wadhwa is currently Vice President of Academics and Innovation at Singularity University[3]; an adjunct professor and executive-in-residence at the Masters of Engineering Management Program[4] and Director of Research at the Center for Research Commercialization at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering; a fellow at Stanford University's Arthur and Toni Rembe Rock Center for Corporate Governance; and a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Halle Institute for Global Learning, at Emory University [5]. He has been a Senior Research Associate at Harvard Law School's Labor and Worklife Program [6] and a visiting professor at the School of Information, at the University of California, Berkeley[7]. He writes a regular column for The Washington Post[8], Bloomberg BusinessWeek[9], the American Society of Engineering Education's Prism Magazine[10][11][12][13], and Forbes, and has written for Foreign Policy[14][15][16][17] and TechCrunch[18].
Recognition
In 1999, Wadhwa was named a “leader of tomorrow” by Forbes Magazine [19].
In May 2000[20], Red Herring magazine named Wadhwa as "one to watch" in an article titled "The Einstein of Legacy Data Migration", in reference to the company's software that converts legacy data for the PC environment.
In May 2001, Information Week magazine, in discussing Wadhwa's treatment of his Relativity Technologies employees, stated that he “promotes old-fashioned business values”.
In January 2012, Silicon Valley Mercury News called Wadhwa Silicon Valley’s “most provocative voice”[21]. It said, “If there is some kind of digital dogfight in Silicon Valley, chances are that Vivek Wadhwa is smack in the middle of it. Tech entrepreneur-turned-blogger 'makes things happen"'.
In February 2012, Wadhwa was one of the six "2012 Outstanding American by Choice" recipients, a distinction awarded by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services[22]. The Outstanding American by Choice initiative recognizes the outstanding achievements of naturalised U.S. citizens.
