Bio
Ted Waitt, co-founder and former Chairman and CEO of Gateway, Inc., helped revolutionize how people use technology to live, work, and play through pioneering the direct marketing of personal computers. Labeled a maverick by national business publications, he has since gone on to form multiple enterprises: Avalon Capital Group, Inc., a wholly-owned, billion-dollar private investment company with diverse interests in technology, health care, finance, and real estate; the Waitt Family Foundation; and the Waitt Institutes, nonprofit organizations dedicated to the improvement of mankind's knowledge through historical and scientific exploration.
Through the Waitt Family Foundation, Ted has become one of America's 50 most generous philanthropists, according to Business Week.
Waitt has served as the Chairman of the Founding Fathers campaign of the Family Violence Prevention Fund, just one of the efforts that he supports in the fight to prevent domestic violence. He also serves on the Advisory Council of the National Geographic Society and as a Vice Chairman of the Board for the Jonas Salk Institute for Biological Studies.
