Mike began his career in business at an early age. After graduating from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in engineering, Mike went on to receive an MBA from Harvard Business School. In 1966, at the age of twenty-four, he moved to New York City to take a job with Salomon Brothers, an investment bank. Mike quickly rose through the ranks at Salomon, where he eventually oversaw the trading firm's information systems. In 1981, Salomon was acquired by another company, and Mike was squeezed out by the merger. He used that opportunity to start Bloomberg LP - and never looked back, turning his vision of a financial news and information company that would use emerging technology to bring transparency and efficiency to Wall Street's trading firms.
