Seagate® founder named Top Tech Visionary

PC World recently named Seagate founder, Al Shugart, as one of the 'World's Top 50 Tech Visionaries'. Widely credited as the man who developed the hard drive for the mass market, Shugart was a colourful character who made a real impact on the industry.

Seagate FounderMr Shugart, a former bar owner and commercial fisherman, favoured Hawaiian shirts over traditional business attire. Although he nurtured an image as being somewhat unconventional – he once tried to run his Bernese mountain dog for Congress – Mr Shugart was actually a savvy businessman.

He was part of the original team of engineers at IBM that developed the first hard drive storage system, the Advanced Disk File, which came out in 1956.

Starting Seagate Technology (originally called Shugart Technology) in 1979, he helped steer the company to become the world's largest independent manufacturer of hard disk drives and related components.

This award reflects the fact that many of the gadgets and technology we enjoy and rely on today were only made possible by his pioneering work into hard disk technology.
