Steven S. Gal

Steven Gal is a career entrepreneur. In July 2009, he returned to teaching entrepreneurship at Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management. Steven's interests focus on the founding and building of new high-growth ventures. Over more than a decade in the technology industry, Steven has co-founded and grown six venture-capital backed companies, raising more than $100 million. These lead to an IPO, several successful sales, and one failure. During these years, he solved entrenched problems for consumers and businesses across areas as diverse as identity theft, personal privacy, customer support, e-marketing, and internet search. Prior to his technology career, Steven was an associate professor of clinical entrepreneurship in the Entrepreneur Program at USC's Marshall School of Business. Earlier, he spent several years on Wall Street in risk arbitrage and on the floor of the New York Futures Exchange. Steven is an attorney and a member of the California Bar.
