Lanham Napier, President and CEO of Rackspace, is a rare combination: Ivy League-educated executive and unbridled enthusiast for creating the service culture that drives Rackspace’s “fanatical support” philosophy. A Houston native and the son of educators, his interest in learning and advancing his education began at an early age. He earned a bachelors degree in Economics from Rice University and graduated with an MBA from Harvard Business School.
Even as he began his professional career as an investment banker at Merrill Lynch, his entrepreneurial spirit, love of learning, and keen interest in what makes businesses “tick” continued. In his spare time, he would cold-call top executives in the Houston area to learn first-hand about how they built their companies and became successful. “A priceless education . . .I was able to learn from the masters,” says Napier. Prior to joining Rackspace, he also served as a director at Silver Brands Partners, a San Antonio investment firm.
