Vivek Wadhwa is an Indian-American technology entrepreneur and academic.
Early career
At Credit Suisse First Boston, Wadhwa led the development of a computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tool to develop client-server model software. First Boston spent $150 million on these development efforts. The CASE technology was spun off by First Boston into Seer Technologies in 1990 with an investment of $20 million by IBM.
Seer Technologies filed for an IPO in May 1995.
Academic and public life
Wadhwa is currently Vice President of Academics and Innovation at Singularity University; an adjunct professor and executive-in-residence at the Masters of Engineering Management Program and Director of Research at the Center for Research Commercialization at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering; a fellow at Stanford University's Arthur and Toni Rembe Rock Center for Corporate Governance; and a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Halle Institute for Global Learning, at Emory University . He has been a Senior Research Associate at Harvard Law School's Labor and Worklife Program and a visiting professor at the School of Information, at the University of California, Berkeley. He writes a regular column for The Washington Post, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, the American Society of Engineering Education's Prism Magazine, and Forbes, and has written for Foreign Policy and TechCrunch.
Recognition
In 1999, Wadhwa was named a “leader of tomorrow” by Forbes Magazine .
In May 2000, Red Herring magazine named Wadhwa as "one to watch" in an article titled "The Einstein of Legacy Data Migration", in reference to the company's software that converts legacy data for the PC environment.
In January 2012, Silicon Valley Mercury News called Wadhwa Silicon Valley’s “most provocative voice”. It said, “If there is some kind of digital dogfight in Silicon Valley, chances are that Vivek Wadhwa is smack in the middle of it. Tech entrepreneur-turned-blogger 'makes things happen"'.
In February 2012, Wadhwa was one of the six "2012 Outstanding American by Choice" recipients, a distinction awarded by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
