Steve Jobs’ Wife, Laurene Jobs: Businesswoman, Philanthropist, and the Love of His Life

Not much is known about the late Steve Jobs’ personal life. The Apple co-founder passed away yesterday, Oct. 5, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer and many inquisitive minds want to know more about the legendary technological genius. Laurene has her BA from the University of Pennsylvania and her BS in Economics from the Wharton School of Business, class of 1985. The blonde beauty also received her MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business in 1991. Before attending business school, Laurene worked for Merrill Lynch Asset Management and Goldman Sachs. Aside from her outstanding scholastic achievement, Laurene is a noteworthy philanthropist. She has an acute focus on non-profit entrepreneurship, specifically in education, women’s human rights, and the arts, according to PARSA.com.

She is a co-founder of Terravera, a company committed to the development of organic raw materials for the food and feed industries. Terravera was established in August 2003 and manufactures and delivers organic products to over 300 retailers in Northern California each day. Laurene serves as President of the Board of College Track, an after-school program she founded in 1997 to prepare underserved high school students for success in college.

She is also cited as an affiliate of PARSA, the first Persian community foundation in the U.S. It practices strategic philanthropy with a focus on social entrepreneurship around the world. She is on the Board of Directors Achieva, an educational company that provides online tools for students to improve study skills and standardized test scores. Laurene also serves on the boards of the Global Fund for Women, Emerson Collective, KQED (PBS), EdVoice, and the New America Foundation. Steve Jobs is survived by Laurene and his four children.

Behind every great man is a great woman,” or so the saying goes. Laurene Jobs is that woman. She was with Steve every step of the way; and was the love of his life. In spite of the fact that Steve Jobs was the CEO of one of the most powerful companies in the entire world, Laurene Jobs never stood in her husband’s shadow. Instead, she complimented his light. The beautiful blonde is approximately ten years younger and the role model for the PERFECT WIFE of any majorly successful man!
