United Way of Western Connecticut's EDGE group hosts this breakfast with Jay Walker, chairman of Stamford-based Walker Digital, LLC.
Mr. Walker is one of a dozen or so living inventors worldwide to hold 200 patents in multiple fields. He and his team created the central innovations behind priceline.com, the ground breaking “name-your-own-price” company for airline tickets, rental cars and hotel rooms. He co-founded Synapse, which revolutionized the magazine subscription industry and was sold to Time Warner for $600 million.
He has twice been named by the editors of TIME magazine as one of the 50 most influential business leaders in the digital age. Business Week selected him as one of its 25 Internet pioneers most responsible for “changing the competitive landscape of almost every industry in the world.”
