Informationen zum Autor STEPHEN MICHAEL PETER THOMAS began his business career at age 14 as strategy consultant and head clerk at Wilson's Fish Market, Inc. After graduating summa cum laude from Harvard, Stanford, and MIT simultaneously, Steve went on to earn an MBA and LLD. After a stint as the youngest partner at the blue-chip consultancy McKinsey & Co., Steve founded his own firm and was immediately in demand by business leaders worldwide. Steve's first book Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better, topped the New York Times Bestseller List even before it was written. When he is not consulting, globe-trotting, conducting seminars, or writing bestsellers, Steve likes to spend time with his collection of technology-based devices including a Gulfstream V, desktop supercomputer, and personal submarine.
