Steve Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976 and helped launch the personal computer revolution. Yet in one of the most remarkable twists in business history, he was forced out of the company he helped create.
Instead of giving up, Jobs founded NeXT and acquired Pixar. While NeXT advanced computer technology, Pixar transformed the animation industry with blockbuster films.
Years later, Apple acquired NeXT, bringing Jobs back to the company. He led Apple through one of the greatest corporate turnarounds ever seen.
Under his leadership, Apple introduced products such as the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, redefining multiple industries and making Apple one of the world’s most valuable companies.
