enterprise 3.0: new representations of new markets : Speakers

Laura D. Peterson
President and CEO, Ventana Systems, Inc.

Laura Peterson is Ventana's president and CEO. She helped start the company in 1985 based upon technology developed earlier at MIT. She provided funds, equipment, and contracts to start the company on a track of research and development to use IT strategically: to provide organizations foresight and visibility of the right thing to do. Applications are with the federal government, large corporations and recently Wall Street.

In 2007, Laura received the Boston History and Innovation Collaborative's award as a Champion of Innovation for her work in decision support for complex systems. Laura received her S.B. in economics from MIT, and her PMD from Harvard Business School.

Ventana develops advanced technology to produce high quality models. These models are embedded in either decision support or automated systems, and usually appear in mission critical or high risk/high stakes applications. Ventana has become a magnet for world class modeling and scientific personnel.
