Reuben Steiger
CEO/Founder, Millions of Us

Reuben Steiger's career has focused on using interactive technologies to build communities that both reflect and enhance the physical world.

Prior to founding Millions of Us, Steiger was the Evangelist for Linden Lab, creators of the 3-D virtual world Second Life. In that role he was responsible for business development efforts and bringing the first wave of corporations and commercial developers into Second Life. He also focused on strategic product developments designed to lower the boundary between the virtual world and the Internet, including Snapzilla (the Flickr of Second Life), SLTV (live TV from Second Life) and Slurl.com (location-based linking into Second Life).

Prior to Linden Lab, he was VP of Interactive Services at Wynn Resorts (Nasdaq: WYNN) where he led efforts to translate the vision of the still unfinished $2.8 billion casino to the web.

Until 2002, he was Chief Development Officer at OVEN Digital, where he helped build that company into the world's largest privately-owned Internet consultancy with 11 offices and 350 employees worldwide. At OVEN, Steiger headed efforts to build the world's most advanced broadband services firm, creating OneCosmos.net, a 3-D model of the known physical universe as well as a host of next generation broadband services for WINFirst, a $900 million Fiber-to-the-Home company.

Steiger holds a BA in English Literature from Brown University and lives in Marin County with his wife and two young children.
