Jason Horowitz, Board Member
Jason Horowitz has dedicated his career to expanding and deepening global linkages. Since 1997, he has helped expand Sun Microsystems, Inc.'s global product development activities. Most recently he played a key role in founding Sun's St. Petersburg (Russia) software development center. At Sun, he has also been involved in global strategy & planning, managing Sun's Prague operation and running an outsourced software engineering program. Prior to joining Sun, Jason worked for the U.S. State Department as a career member of the U.S. Foreign Service. From 1993-96 in Moscow, he analyzed the development of the emerging market economy in Russia and helped to manage US economic assistance to that country. Jason has Bachelors and Masters degrees from Columbia University and UCLA respectively.
Jason's interest in preservation of cultural artifacts dates to undergraduate days in Columbia's History Department. He says, "I have friends who spent many years trying to see a particular document or thing in an obscure archive. Technology developed by CHI will make it much easier for future students/scholars to have that first-hand experience with history."
