Steve Case is Chairman of the Board of AOL Time Warner. As Chairman, Mr. Case is actively involved in leading and building AOL Time Warner, with particular focus on technological developments, policy initiatives and strategic investments that are driving the global expansion of the interactive medium. Steve Case was formerly Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of America Online, Inc., the world's leading interactive services company. Since co-founding AOL in 1985, he has focused on developing a mass market for interactive services and content. America Online's vision has been "to build a global medium as central to people's lives as the telephone or television—and even more valuable." With Mr. Case at the helm, AOL experienced remarkable growth, both in the United States and around the world. From the time the company went public in 1992, it grew from 250 employees and $30 million in annual revenues, to more than 14,000 employees and nearly $6.9 billion in revenues in FY2000. Described as the  "first blue chip company of the Internet," America Online was also the first Internet company to be named to the Fortune 500. Today, AOL and CompuServe offer services in 16 countries, in 8 different languages, with more than 30 million members worldwide.
    The service's popular content and features—as well as those of AOL Time Warner's online brands—are available across a wide range of PC-based and mobile devices as part of the company's AOL Anywhere strategy. As the growth of the Internet has accelerated, Steve Case has been committed to ensuring that the interactive medium delivers on its full promise to benefit society. Over the years, America Online led the industry on such important issues as integrating technology into schools, ensuring child safety and protecting consumer privacy. And, led by Mr. Case, AOL helped the medium to further expand its potential by launching Helping.org, a new e-philanthropy portal for online charitable giving, as well as GovernmentGuide, an online guide to help citizens connect with government services and elected officials. Through the AOL Foundation and the Case Foundation, which he founded with his wife, Jean Case, Mr. Case has supported programs like PowerUp—technology centers for young people in inner cities and rural areas designed to help expand digital opportunity. And through the AOL Time Warner Foundation, Mr. Case will continue to work to use the power of media, communications and information technology to enrich the lives of people everywhere. Born and raised in Hawaii, Steve Case graduated with a degree in Political Science from Williams College.(http://www.aoltimewarner.com/about/whos_who/seniorcorpexecs/Case.html)
