Elephant Attacks Tech Guru Tom Siebel

ELEPHANT ATTACKS TECH GURU TOM SIEBEL It was over two years ago when Silicon Valley's tech billionaire and entrepreneur Tom Siebel decided to venture to Africa on a walking safari tour. Siebel, founder of Siebel Systems (sold to Oracle for $5.8B), was attacked and severely injured by a charging elephant in Tanzania. The raging 6 ton animal attacked the 56 year-old Siebel, goring his thigh, shattering his leg, and breaking several of his ribs. The guide and Siebel were able to radio for assistance, but it was three hours before they received any medical treatment; followed by a 20 hour flight back to the states. During the flight home, Siebel lost two-thirds of his blood. Siebel was lucky - most people don't survive these types of attacks. Had Siebel embarked on his safari adventure prior to or during the sale of his company, the impact to the organization would have been financially devastating. Tom was the heart and soul of Siebel Systems, and there's no hiding from the fact that an organization's success is directly tied to its key human capital executives. All successful companies, no matter the size, have key individuals driving the success of the business. What happens when those key executives become disabled? |
