Tom Siebel, a billionaire Silicon Valley entrepreneur and the chief executive officer of C3.ai Inc., is one of the largest single donors to the trucker protests that have snarled Canada’s capital and throttled commerce at the nation’s border with the U.S.
The executive -- who also founded Siebel Systems Inc., an early maker of sales software that was sold to Oracle Corp. in 2006 -- extended $90,000 to the convoy through a crowdfunding platform, according to a leaked database of donations. A C3.ai spokeswoman also confirmed the information.
