Jakob Nielsen is a well known web usability consultant. Nielsen has worked for companies such as Sun Micosystems, Bell Communications, and IBM. At these companies, he was so well-known as a world expert that he pretty much did what he thought needed to be done, whether it was what he was hired to do or not. He is also controversial because while he talks about making website visitors become customers and making sites more accessible to people with disabilities, his personal design preference leaves much to be desired. His own website is ghastly to look at and certainly not what one would expect from a well-respected usability expert.
