Event Description:
Join us for a special presentation by Carly Fiorina, as she discusses her career and views on such issues as what constitutes a leader, how women can thrive in business and the role technology will continue to play in reshaping our world. Throughout an extraordinary career in business, Carly Fiorina has successfully blazed new trails, taken risks and defied the odds. As the former chairman and chief executive officer of global technology solutions provider Hewlett-Packard, she brought all of her skills to bear to write a new chapter in the life of a historic company. Fiorina successfully led HP's controversial merger with Compaq Computer Corp., now recognized as the most successful high-tech merger in history.

Fiorina took an unconventional route to becoming CEO of a leading technology company, earning a bachelor's degree in Medieval history and philosophy from Stanford University. Fiorina holds a master's degree in business administration from the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland at College Park, Md., and a master of science degree from MIT's Sloan School. Prior to joining HP, Fiorina spent nearly 20 years at AT&T and Lucent Technologies, where she held a number of senior leadership positions and directed Lucent's initial public offering and subsequent spin-off from AT&T. Fiorina has previously served on the boards of Cisco Systems, Kellogg Company and Merck & Company. She currently serves on the boards of CyberTrust (specializing in cybersecurity), Revolution Healthcare Group, MIT Corporation Board of Trustees and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.

Ms. Fiorina is the author of Tough Choices: A Memoir
