Frank Slootman Bio: Early Life

Mr. Slootman is a billionaire businessman who was born on 3rd October 1958 in Holland.

Talking about his decision to come to the states, Frank expressed in an interview; how he had never worked in the country where he was born. Frank explained

I entered the US in 1984. I never worked in Holland, but was born, raised and educated there. In the mid 80s I tried to hire on out of school with IBM, they were the gold standard back then in the so-called computer industry. I was rejected at least a dozen times by IBM.

Further, Frank also shed some lights on his early work experience at Burroughs,

I worked on the merger of Burroughs and Sperry which became Unisys. I was never a mainframe guy. Also, I helped the company move its software to non-mainframe platforms that started to emerge on UNIX in the late 80s. It was hard for me to work in a big company, too slow and rigid, just not inspired.

Frank further added the fact that he always felt like he was born in the wrong country. The reason for which he describes as,

The energy, buoyancy, and temperament in this country greatly appeal to me. I am truly a hybrid Dutch-American. I have American citizenship, which I treasure greatly, but there is no denying my Dutch roots
