If you don’t have time, skip to the actual tributes from the who’s who starting at 16 min and 15 sec mark. Andy appears at the 21 min. 30 sec. mark
Andy Grove, former Chairman and CEO of Intel, came to the United States as a refugee from Hungary. With a relentless energy and exceptional mind, he helped build the iconic tech company Intel — and in the process, Silicon Valley itself.
Ben Horowitz offers a tribute to this legendary leader (and his own inspiration) at the 5th Annual Churchill Club awards, held on September 24th, 2015, where Grove was honored as the 2015 Legendary Leader for “inspirational leadership and contributions to others’ innovation and success”; spirit of the award: “Couldn’t have done it without you”.
“The best way to honor Andy is to live up to his standard.
When we someone with nothing who wants to do something, we need to help them. But we need to help them with a high expectation of what they're going to to do but who they're going to help. And even if they don't make it, it's so important that they know we still care about them.
If a political refugee shows up on our shores, we need to embrace her with everything was have because she may be the next Andy Grove.” - Ben Horowitz
