Telle Whitney
Liaison with the Institute for Women in Technology


Dr. Telle Whitney joined the Institute for Women and Technology (IWT) as President and CEO in October of 2002. A long-time friend and colleague of IWT founder Dr. Anita Borg (1949-2003), Dr. Whitney brings a shared passion for technology and a long commitment to increasing the presence and impact of women in the field. She also brings 20 years of technology and executive experience in the semiconductor and telecommunications industries.

Before accepting the position with IWT she was part of the founding management team at Malleable Technologies, a startup in the programmable communication area. Malleable was acquired by PMC-Sierra in June 2000. She served as Vice President of Engineering at Malleable until its acquisition. Prior to joining Malleable, Telle was an executive at Actel Corporation, where she held a number of diverse positions in the software engineering and chip design.

In 1994 Dr. Whitney co-founded the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) conference along with Dr. Anita Borg. The GHC conference is one of the IWT's flagship events, and the largest technical gathering for women in the world. She served as program chair of the 1994 GHC conference, workshop chair of the 1997 conference, general chair of the 2000 conference, and fundraising chair for Grace Hopper 2002.

Dr. Whitney serves as Secretary/Treasurer of the ACM, and serves on the ACM Queue advisory board. In 2003 she became a member of the National Science Foundation Committee for Equal Opportunity in Science and Engineering (CEOSE).

Telle received her Ph.D. from Caltech in 1985, and her BS at the University of Utah, both in Computer Science.
