My Father Introduced Me an Interview with GIDEON I. GARTNER OH 377
I played chess as a child; my father introduced me An Interview with GIDEON I. GARTNER OH 377 Conducted by Jeffrey R. Yost on 12 August 2005 Aspen, Colorado Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Processing University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright, Charles Babbage Institute Gideon I. Gartner Interview 12 August 2005 Oral History 377 Abstract This interview is with entrepreneur and corporate leader Gideon Gartner, the founder of Gartner Group, Inc.—a pioneering firm in information technology assessment and advisory services. The interview briefly discusses his early life and education (which included a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from MIT and a Master’s from MIT’s Sloan School of Management), before focusing on his founding and leadership of Gartner Group (later renamed Gartner, Inc.). After MIT, Gartner began a successful career at IBM, focused on research and market management, before shifting to Wall Street and joining and becoming a Partner at Oppenheimer & Company. Leaving Oppenheimer, he launched Gartner Group in 1979 (where he was President, CEO, and Chairman until the early 1990s)—a company that revolutionized IT advisory and investment services with deeply-researched, concise (one-sheet) reports (among other innovations). He also discusses his teaching at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management. In the mid-1990s Gartner launched another fast-growing, important company, GiGa Information Group. This, too, focused on IT assessment and advisory services. 2 Yost: My name is Jeffrey Yost of the Charles Babbage Institute. I’m here today with Gideon Gartner in Aspen, Colorado. It’s August 12th, 2005. Gideon, could you begin with some basic biographical information, where you were born, where you grew up? Gartner: I was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, and came to the United States when I was two and a half years old. -
