Thank you to everyone who joined this session for our June-July book, The Curious Case of Mike Lynch by The Times' Tech Editor, Katie Prescott. In this first part we discuss the early days of Mike Lynch, from donning a suit as a teenager to his tactics to aggrandize his early venture, Neurodynamics and then to Autonomy, his UK tech leader built on sheer will and at times, breaking of the rules.
British tech billionaire Mike Lynch rose from humble beginnings to sell his company Autonomy for billions, only to find his reputation shattered by one of Silicon Valley's largest fraud cases. After a decade of legal battles and a surprising US exoneration, Lynch's life was tragically cut short when his yacht sank off the coast of Sicily, inexplicably coinciding with the accidental death of his co-defendant. Award-winning journalist Katie Prescott forensically investigates this maverick's extraordinary life and bizarre death, unravelling a high-stakes tale of corporate subterfuge where nothing is quite as it seems.
