Corrado Broli: “I have known Mike Lynch since 1999, I worked with him for many years, I believe he tried to save his daughter. He was probably going to Palermo to return to England after hearing about the death of our friend Steve. “
“Mike is – as I still prefer to use the verb in the present tense – a wonderful and very generous man: I think he tried to save his daughter and that is why they are missing together». There is talk Corrado Brolian Italian manager who has known Mike Lynch for 25 years, when he joined Autonomy in 1999, the company founded by the tycoon, and was then CEO in Italy before going to Darktrace , financed by Lynch, where he remained at the helm in Italy before retiring in 2022.
When was the last time you heard from Lynch?
« On the day of his birthday on June 16. I am very shaken. I have been on board several times as well Bayit wasn’t the first time Mike had holidayed in the Mediterranean.”
What kind of person is Lynch?
“A wonderful man, with wonderful charisma, a true pioneer of artificial intelligence applied to data analysis and cyber security, he is a visionary, a person of higher order. In work environments he was known as the British “Bill Gates”.but for me it was even more. From a human point of view it was very simple, always ready to listenavailable to give and also receive tips, very generous, with a heart of gold: together with his wife Angela they do a lot of charity. They were, yes, exceptional residents. Now they are in contact with people close to them. They are busy with bureaucratic and legal procedures.”
In June of this year, Lynch was acquitted in a US trial in which he was accused of increasing Autonomy’s income. How did you learn of the allegations?
“Mike survived the trial (from which he was acquitted thanks to the testimony of another person missing in the wreck, Morgan Stanley International president Jonathan Bloomer, ed.) with mental strength, determination and serenity, with a sense of working in perfect perfection. I know this because we exchanged several messages about the trial.”
But it is not strange that he died on August 18 when he was hit by a car Steve Chamberlainwho was a senior manager of Autonomy who was also charged and acquitted in the same trial?
“It was an accident. Steve’s is a tragedy within a tragedy. I knew him very well, we were colleagues for years. He was a friend, a senior manager. I believe it is a terrible coincidence. He was moving. And I think Mike moved to Palermo after hearing about Steve’s death to return to England. “
