Roos, U.S. Ambassador to Japan

The extraordinary story of the child prodigy who grew up to become an entrepreneurial sensation

If anyone has "been there, done that" when it comes to starting and managing a business, it's William Saito. Saito is a truly unique personality. In An Unprogrammed Life, he tells his fascinating tale of a lifetime of entrepreneurship for the first time. More than just a high-tech autobiography or how-to-build-a-business guide, the book is the extraordinary story of a self-taught genius who became a savvy, serial business phenomenon. Founder of multiple profitable companies, Saito now devotes himself to helping others do the same, and this book chronicles his journey from a young computer nerd programming stock market trading algorithms for a major broker to one of the world's foremost experts on data security. Filled with practical advice, including end-of-chapter "takeaway" tips, An Unprogrammed Life is both an inspirational success story and essential handbook for entrepreneurs everywhere.
