Eileen Lento, ph.d.—Government and Education Strategist, Intel Americas
Currently at Intel, Dr. Lento is developing and implementing holistic models to meet the needs of state and local governments as well as school systems in the United States. In the area of government, she supports transportation, health and human services, public safety as well as data center consolidation. In each pillar of government, she brings to bear uniquely tailored solutions that provide intelligent and appropriate infrastructure that reduce costs while increasing efficiencies. In the current economic climate, the government initiatives are more critical than ever as the data clearly demonstrates that these projects will pay off substantially in reduced operation costs, e.g. consociation through virtualization, energy efficiency as well as intelligent performance. In the education space, she is expert at guiding school systems along the technology adoption curve. These models recognize that such efforts demand more than simply providing students and educators with laptops. The work addresses the need for quantitative and qualitative results, visionary leadership, creative funding, rich digital content, ongoing professional development, all supported by a solid infrastructure. Additionally, she brings awareness to the need for advocacy around policies necessary for such systemic reform efforts to gain real traction (i.e., scale and sustainability). A retired US Air Force Officer, her previous work includes the Director of Learning Technologies for PASCO Scientific and an Assistant Professor of Research in the Learning Sciences at Northwestern University. Having worked on several large scale NSF and DOE projects, she is dedicated to transforming learning experiences via teaching and learning processes that take full advantage of technology so that all students can achieve the high standards essential for them to be successful. Dr. Lento has won a number of awards as well as published in several peer-reviewed journals.
