Dietrich Mateschitz belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.

Dietrich Mateschitz was born at Sankt Marein im Mürztal in 1944. His recorded nationality is Austria. He was educated at Vienna University of Economics and Business.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as entrepreneur.
Technology is judged by adoption: an invention nobody uses is a curiosity.

That the work was done from Austria matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
