2008 WEBINAR SERIES FOR TECHNICAL WOMEN LEADERS
Presented by Invent Your Future and The Anita Borg Institute for Women
and Technology
Best Practices for Advancing Your Technical Career – February 13, 2008
Career advancement requires more than just hard work—strong networks, up-to-date
technical skills, visibility within your company, an actionable career plan and an
ability to articulate why you are the right person for that next promotion are also
critical to your success. Our panelists will share their career strategies and answer
your questions on how you can prepare for that next step up the career ladder.
SPEAKERS:
The Webinar Series is a joint, fee-for-service program of the Anita Borg Institute for
Women and Technology, a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization, and Invent Your
Future Enterprises, a woman-owned, for-profit company. All Webinar proceeds are
divided equally between the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology and
Invent Your Future Enterprises.

Kathy Hill brings more than 25 years of network engineering and management
experience to her position as Senior Vice President for Cisco’s Ethernet & Wireless
Technology Group.
A Cisco veteran, Hill is responsible for continued growth of Cisco’s Ethernet
Switching and Wireless LAN products and solutions across Enterprise, Small-Medium
Business and Metro Ethernet networks. Cisco is the leader in the $15 billion
Ethernet switching market and the Enterprise Wireless LAN market, with products
designed to support leading-edge applications including IP telephony and video.
Hill also serves as co-leader of Cisco’s Commercial Business Council and is a
leading member of the Gender Diversity Council, a Cisco-wide initiative promoting
both gender and cultural diversity.
Previously, Hill was Vice-President and General Manager for Cisco’s Desktop
Switching Business Unit. Under her leadership, Cisco’s stackable Ethernet switch
business grew to a multi-billion dollar run rate and achieved record market share.
Prior to joining Cisco in 1997, Hill held the position of vice president at Ascend, a
leading manufacturer of digital switches and networking products for Wide Area
Networks (WANs). Before joining Ascend, Hill held senior management positions at
Newbridge Networks and Hughes Network Systems.
Hill is a Board of Trustees Member of the Anita Borg Institute for Women and

Dr. Perlman is known for her contributions to bridging (spanning tree algorithm) and
routing (link state distribution) as well as security (sabotage-proof networks). She is
the author of the textbook Interconnections: Bridges and Routers, and co-author
of Network Security: Private Communication in a Public World, two of the top 10
Networking reference books, according to Network Magazine.
Dr. Perlman is one of the networking industry's 25 most influential people, according
to Data Communications Magazine. She has about 50 issued patents in the fields of
routing and security. She has a PhD in computer science, degrees in mathematics
from MIT, and an honorary doctorate from the Royal Institute of Technology in
Sweden.
Radia Perlman's work has had a profound impact on the field of networking. She was
recently featured in the 25th anniversary edition of Data Communications magazine
as one of the 25 people whose work has most influenced the industry. She is the
creator of the spanning tree algorithm upon which bridges (switches) are based,
and the algorithms that allow robust and efficient link state routing, upon which all
modern link state routing protocols (such as IS-IS, OSPF, and PNNI) are based. Radia
designed IS-IS, Simple Multicast, and sabotage-proof routing. She is also co-author of
Network Security: Private Communication in a Public World. Both of her books were
listed in the top 10 most useful networking reference books in the March, 1988
issue of Network Magazine. She is currently a Distinguished Engineer at Sun
Microsystems, Inc. She holds about 50 patents and a Ph.D. from M.I.T.
