Abstract
Telle Whitney describes her journey from her early days in Salt Lake City to becoming CEO of the Anita Borg Institute, creating and leading the organization to one of the global impacts, with a reach of over 750 K technical women. Telle was a pioneer in the field of VLSI design, both in the early days of the VLSI revolution, and as an entrepreneur in the semiconductor field. She is a recognized leader both as a Semiconductor pioneer and as leader in the movement for women creating technology that impacts our lives.
