Eric Schmidt(@ericschmidt):Lou Gerstner was one of the great American businessman, and someone I learned a lot from. He died two days ago, and after turning around IBM (a historic feat) became the Chair of the Broad Institute (I followed him in that role). He had great business skills of course but his real insight was in people - he had an uncanny ability to find the great leaders within every company he worked with. He was devoted to his family, his friends, his companies and science and education. He will be missed.
