About this person

Michael "Scotty" Scott was an American entrepreneur, who was the first CEO of Apple Computer from February 1977 to March 1981. Formerly director of manufacturing at National Semiconductor, Scott was persuaded by Mike Markkula to take the CEO position at Apple, as the co-founders - Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak - were both seen as insufficiently experienced for the job at the time.
