Guest Speaker: Chris Clay
Chris Clay holds a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from University of California, Berkeley and an M.B.A. in Finance from UCLA’s Anderson Graduate School of Management.
After graduating from UCLA, Chris worked for 10 years as an Engineering leader at Rod-L Electronics, a company founded by his father, Roy Clay Sr. After Rod-L Electronics, Chris worked in Product Management, Marketing and Business Development at several other technology companies. Chris currently works as a business development leader for German based software company SAP. Chris is also the Managing Editor for Roy Clay Sr’s memoir, Unstoppable: The Unlikely Story of a Silicon Valley Godfather.
“Unstoppable” explores the life of Roy L. Clay Sr. from his time as a teenager using his uncanny math skills to run a back-room craps game in segregated, rural Missouri, to his rise as a Silicon Valley technology pioneer. Roy Clay Sr. was a founding member of the computer division at Hewlett-Packard, where he led the team that created the HP 2116A. After leaving HP he established his own consulting company and worked closely with Tom Perkins (Kleiner Perkins) to shape Silicon Valley as we know it today.
“Unstoppable” has been featured by Stephen Curry’s Underrated Book Club, USA Today, NBC Bay Area, and Fox Bay Area.
