Take A Look Behind The Desks Of 23 Successful Tech People

The world's most successful people don't mess around when it comes to their working space.

A desk has to be a place where you can be productive, healthy, and comfortable for many hours, day in day out.

Craigslist founder Craig Newmark prefers a sparse desk, while Michael Moritz, Chairman at Sequoia Capital, keeps a bottle of emergency whiskey "for the bad surprise." 

And some professionals don't work at a desk at all.

As a part of LinkedIn's “View From My Desk” series, some of the most successful tech professionals in the world reveal where they work. We're publishing the highlights with permission.

Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist

"I have one big screen connected to a desktop. There's little paper there, since I've arranged pretty much everything online. You'll see a few knickknacks, with some focus on my prior role model, Homer Simpson, and I just acquired something related to my current role model, Grandpa Simpson."

Richard Branson, Founder at Virgin Group

"The scene might not look much like working — you won’t find a suit or tie anywhere, and lots of people are enjoying snacks. Work doesn’t always have to mean timed meetings and official processes. Lots of the best ideas come off the cuff, out of conversations like the one happening in the photo."

Jeff Jordan, General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz

"As you can see, I love light and color. Almost all of the artwork and interesting knickknacks in my office came from Fab.com, my very favorite e-commerce site (and portfolio company!). I'm also a big hoops fan and the Jordan jersey was given to me as a gift from the ESPN team when I left Disney."
