My Take
Henry Samueli is the kind of overachiever I find genuinely thrilling. Co-founding Broadcom out of UCLA would already be a full life, and the Marconi Prize plus the IEEE Founders Medal confirm he is a real engineering great, not just a businessman. But then he goes and owns the Anaheim Ducks and lifts the Stanley Cup, almost as a hobby. Reshaping global semiconductors and winning a hockey championship is an absurdly greedy resume, and I love it. Born in Buffalo in 1954, he seems to pour both intellect and passion fully into everything, which is rarer than it sounds.
