In from Silicon Valley, CSE alumnus and serial entrepreneur, Kon Leong, will be speaking to graduate students at about big data, unstructured analytics, SQL/NoSQL, information governance, enterprise software and innovation beyond.

Leong, founder of Silicon Valley company ZL Technologies, says Concordia provided him solid grounding even though the field has changed greatly over the past three and a half decades.

Two decades after graduating, Leong co-founded ZL Technologies, which is located in Milpitas, Calif. — part of what’s known the world over as Silicon Valley. The company is now widely recognized as a leader in enterprise information archiving.

With big-name partnerships ranging from Microsoft to IBM, Leong is now president and CEO of a company that got its foot in the digital archiving door before it became such a crucial component of today’s large-scale enterprises and institutions.
