Mike and Steve Ballmer – shown here in animated discussion at the 2018 Milken Institute Global Conference - share a voracious desire to gather and analyze diverse data. Mike emphasized research in revolutionizing financial markets and in his efforts to accelerate progress in solving life-threatening diseases, expanding access to public health programs and improving public education. Ballmer, co-founder of Ballmer Group, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers NBA basketball team and former Microsoft CEO, recently published a data-rich Annual Report and 10-K Report on the state of the U.S. federal government.
