Named one of the "75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century" by Esquire magazine, Mike Milken has pursued three main professional passions: medical research, education and finance. In each, he has been uniquely successful in creating value whether measured in saved lives (Fortune magazine called him "The Man Who Changed Medicine"), inspired students or job creation. Between 1969 and 1989, he financed more than 3,200 companies creating millions of jobs and helping to revolutionize capital markets. His philanthropy began in the 1970s and paralleled his business career. In 1982, he co-founded the Milken Family Foundation, whose support of the teaching profession has led to significant innovations in education and whose medical research programs have contributed to major clinical breakthroughs. Separately, Mike heads FasterCures, a Washington-based think tank that works to remove barriers to progress against all life-threatening diseases. He is also chairman of the Milken Institute, which is focused on improving the lives and economic conditions of people around the world.

Mike and his wife, Lori, have three children and three grandchildren and celebrated their 40th anniversary this year. Details are at www.mikemilken.com.

In a dynamic and remarkably uplifting multimedia presentation, Milken weaves together what he calls the "three great democratizations" of the 21st century: access to capital, to knowledge, and to health.
