Anita Borg Taps Intel VP for 2013 Keynote


PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 10 – The Anita Borg Institute (ABI), a non-profit organization focused on the advancement of women in computer science and engineering, announced today that Diane M. Bryant, Vice President and General Manager of the Datacenter and Connected Systems Group for Intel Corporation, will be the featured keynote speaker at the Women of Vision Awards Banquet on May 9, 2013 in Santa Clara, Calif.

The Anita Borg Institute Women of Vision Awards Banquet honors women making significant contributions to technology. One winner is selected in each of three categories: Innovation, Leadership, and Social Impact. Previous winners include Mary Lou Jepsen, Mitchell Baker, Helen Greiner, and Duy-Loan T. Le. The award for the Top Company for Technical Women is also presented at the event. This award recognizes an organization that has demonstrated measurable results in the recruitment, retention, and advancement of technical women at all levels.

Keynote speaker Diane M. Bryant is the Vice President and General Manager of the Datacenter and Connected Systems Group (DCSG) for Intel Corporation, leading the worldwide organization which generated over $10 billion in revenue in 2012. In her current role managing Intel's P&L strategy and product development for enterprise and cloud server infrastructure, high performance computing, storage, communications, networking and intelligent connected systems, she is at the center of major tech industry trends including cloud computing, mobile, and high performance computing.

Previously, as Corporate Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Intel Corporation, Bryant was responsible for the corporate-wide information technology solutions and services that enabled Intel's business strategies for growth and efficiency. She received her bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from U.C. Davis in 1985, joining Intel the same year. She attended the Stanford Executive Program and holds four U.S. patents.
