About Michael J. Saylor

Saylor founded Strategy in 1989 and served as CEO until 2022, becoming executive chairman that August while continuing his long-standing board-chair role. He attended MIT on an Air Force ROTC scholarship and graduated in 1987 with degrees in aeronautics and astronautics and in science, technology and society. His early consulting work used computer simulations to support corporate strategic decisions. Strategy’s biography describes the company’s development in business intelligence and its public listing in 1998. Those technology and corporate-leadership milestones provide context for the recognizable executive rather than suggesting that its issuer identity represents a managed investment fund.
