Cliff Illig: Building a KC Tech Powerhouse

Cliff Illig is an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, and a native Kansas Citian. Cliff went from working for his father loading punch cards into a computer, to writing up a business plan with some friends on a picnic bench in Loose Park, to founding Cerner, a $5 billion dollar healthcare software company. Now principal owner of Sporting Kansas City, Cliff talks Kansas City soccer and all that went into bringing the World Cup to our town. You’ll discover how saying things like, “figure it out”, “slog away at it” and “what would Neal do” became Cerner’s mantra for success.
