"Things to know about Al Vermeulen, chief technology officer of Amazon.com: He works in Seattle and lives in Corvallis--Oregon. To bridge the distance, he learned to fly. He co-wrote a book about Java (the computer language, not the drink). At one point, it afforded him some 'serious geek cachet.' He knows how to harvest tobacco by hand....Vermeulen, who oversees Amazon's huge technology operations, is something of a linguist....Today [2004], Vermeulen guides Amazon's $100 million-a-year effort to use computer power to refine its e-commerce prowess. Indeed, the company is defined as much for its technology as its ability to sell caviar, lawnmowers and books."
