Episode 26: 'THE CLOUD' with Dr. Timothy Chou

This week we are delighted to welcome technologist, entrepreneur, author and lecturer, Dr. Timothy Chou to the Podcast.  We are going to discuss the power of the Cloud and what it could mean for children’s healthcare and research.

In his own words, Timothy has been lucky enough to have a career spanning academia, successful (and not so successful) start-ups and large corporations and he is also an author.

As President of Oracle’s original cloud business, Oracle On Demand, he grew the cloud business from it’s very beginning. Today he serves on the Board of Directors of Blackbaud and Teradata.

Timothy started his career at one of the original Kleiner Perkins start-ups, Tandem Computers. Now as the Chairman of the Alchemist Accelerator he is focused on next generation enterprise software start-ups.

Dr. Chou started teaching at Stanford University in 1982 and launched the university’s first class on cloud computing.  For those of you that listened Episode 25 of Podcast, this is where Timothy met his now good friend Dr Anthony Chang and where the shoots of an idea were formed to begin a project to connect all healthcare machines in all the children’s hospitals in the world, which like the consumer Internet, may completely change children’s healthcare on the planet.

Today we discuss this story and understand more about the opportunity that Timothy and his team and trying to uncover.
