David Margolese is one of the most popular and richest Entrepreneur who was born on October 24, 1957 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
David Margolese (born October 24, 1957) is an entrepreneur and a founder of Sirius XM Radio, serving as chairman and CEO from 1993 to 2002. Considered “one of the earliest advocates of pay radio,” he “effectively created the industry.”
In 1978, at the age of 20, Margolese founded Canadian Telecom, a Vancouver- based radio paging company. He struggled in his early years as an entrepreneur. In 1980, he changed his company’s focus to what would become the future cellular market. He prognosticated in his 1980 position paper, years before the commercial introduction of cellular and at a time when computers were in use by less than one percent of the public, that cellular “has the potential to become all pervasive.” He also envisioned that it would “be used for much more” than just phone calls. When cell phones became widely available, it paid big dividends for Margolese. His company joined with Rogers Communications to form Cantel (a contraction of the name Canadian Telecom). Cantel would ultimately become Rogers Wireless, as of 2012 the largest cellular company in Canada, with over 9.3 million subscribers and revenues over $7 billion. Margolese cashed out of the company in 1989 to found his next venture.
