Janet & Steve Wozniak

Steve Wozniak is an engineer, inventor, philanthropist, and co-founder of Apple Inc., where he revolutionized personal computing and helped launch one of the most influential companies in history. A lifelong advocate for education, creativity, and human-centered innovation, Wozniak has long emphasized the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership. He is known for saying, “The best CEOs are also psychologists,” a belief that underscores his commitment to mental wellness in the workplace. Wozniak brings a unique blend of technical brilliance and human insight to the summit, highlighting the critical intersection of mental health and innovation.

Building on Steve Wozniak's commitment to both technology and human well-being, his wife, Janet Hill Wozniak, also plays a significant role in their shared philanthropic and professional endeavors. Janet, an Apple education development executive, has been a key partner in their efforts to advance education and innovation. Together, they co-founded the Wozniak Family Foundation in 2014, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting STEM education and social development. In 2019, the couple publicly highlighted a significant issue of potential algorithmic bias when they were given vastly different credit limits for the same Apple Card, despite sharing assets. This action underscored their shared commitment to not only creating technology but also ensuring it is fair and equitable.
