“We were so aggressive and so voracious about getting the best, best, best engineers and designers out of Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and MIT. It changed my whole life and gave me a point of view about how to get great people involved. By and large, if you get great people involved, the rest kind of just works out.”
—John Lilly, in an interview appearing in the July/August Fast Company magazine. Lilly is the former CEO of Mozilla, which under his leadership created Firefox, a Web browser used by more than 400 million people. Lilly’s career began at Trilogy Software, where he recalled those recruiting days as director of design.
