Drew Houston (Cloud Storage / SaaS) at Dropbox — San Francisco, United States

Drew Houston founded Dropbox in 2007 after repeatedly forgetting his USB drive — solving a personal problem that turned out to be universal. The company popularized cloud file synchronization for consumers and businesses alike. Houston has navigated Dropbox through several platform evolutions, from file syncing into a collaboration hub, and led it to a successful IPO in 2018. He is a vocal advocate for focus and deep work.
