Mitchell Baker does not look like a typical technology geek. The first thing that makes her stand out is the dyed red hair, draped in a style that is perhaps best described as more new romantic than new economy.
But Baker, as the head of the Mozilla Foundation, is one of the world's most important internet entrepreneurs. In November 2004 the company released Firefox, an internet browser. Just over 18 months on, Firefox has an estimated 50m customers worldwide and a 15 per cent share of the global browser market. The reason you may not have heard of Mozilla is that it has no shareholders, no investors and no directors on multi-million dollar salaries.
