David R. Cheriton is a Canadian-born computer science professor at Stanford University. According to published reports, Cheriton is a billionaire as a result of his investments in technology companies. Cheriton co-founded Granite Systems with Andy Bechtolsheim, a company developing gigabit Ethernet products, acquired by Cisco Systems in 1996. He was also a co-founder, in 2001, of Bechtolsheim's next startup company, Kealia, which was acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2004. Cheriton is also credited for connecting Stanford students Sergey Brin and Larry Page with venture capitalists at Kleiner Perkins, thus becoming one of the early investors that helped get Google off the ground. He received his Masters and PhD degrees from the University of Waterloo in 1974 and 1978, respectively, and spent three years as an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia before moving to Stanford.
