Armas Clifford "Mike" Markkula, Jr. (born February 11, 1942)〔 is an American entrepreneur who was an angel investor and second CEO of Apple Computer, Inc., providing early critical funding and managerial support. Markkula was introduced to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak when they were looking for funding to manufacture the Apple II personal computer they had developed, after having sold some units of the first version of this computer, the Apple I. With his guidance and funding, Apple ceased to be a partnership and was incorporated as a company. Dermot Mulroney portrayed him in the 2013 film ''Jobs'' and Jeffrey Nordling portrayed him in the 1999 TNT film, ''Pirates of Silicon Valley.'' ==Early life== Mike Markkula's great-grandfather Isak Ferdinand Markkula was born in Sievi, Finland. He and his wife moved to the United States in 1865〔(Kaleva-article 4.7.2007 in Finnish )〕 or 1883, depending on the source. Markkula's first name Armas and last name Markkula are traditional Finnish names. His first name Armas means dear or beloved in the Finnish language.〔Kielitoimiston sanakirja (2012).
