An Active, Visionary Leader

Referred by TIME Magazine as "a businessman who is out to change the world," Vice President Gore’s status as a leader in global politics, technology and business influences his positions as Senior Advisor to Google and member of the Board of Directors of Apple. In addition, he is Chairman of Generation Investment Management, an asset-management company incorporating sustainability values into the financial-services world, and a Senior Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Silicon Valley’s preeminent venture firm.

In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, Vice President Gore outlines a broad vision for the future urging business leaders to "... steer by the stars, and not by the lights of each passing ship." He continues: "Ben Franklin famously said, 'You may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again.' Today we have an opportunity to steer by the stars and once again rebuild for the long-term. Sustainable capitalism will create opportunities and rewards, but it will also mean challenging the pernicious orthodoxy of short-termism." Read the full article...

Vice President Gore is writing a new book to be published this fall about the political, social and economic forces that are shaping what America and the world will become in ensuing decades. From demographics to democracy, Gore plans to explore what he calls the drivers of global change, framing the international conversation about the future in fresh and provocative ways.
