The Computer History Museum, the world's largest museum dedicated to the preservation and presentation of artifacts and stories of the information age, announced today it has named high-tech veteran Paul C. Vilandre as its new chief financial officer.
"We welcome Paul as the newest member of our high-performance management team, and are delighted at the opportunity to apply his deep industry experience and knowledge to the museum's next phase of evolution," said John Toole, executive director and CEO of the Computer History Museum.
Mr. Vilandre's financial management acumen and knowledge of the computing industry come from his 37-year career in the high technology industry, including several early-stage, high-growth enterprises. He previously held senior management and financial positions, some with global responsibility, at IBM in Boca Raton and New York, Digital Equipment Corporation in Boston, and after moving to Silicon Valley in 1978, at Intel, Convergent Technologies and Oracle.
Mr. Vilandre has also held positions with software start-ups, overseeing activities including a successful IPO, public-private and M&A transitions. Prior to joining the museum he was CFO of Viador, an enterprise software firm offering web-based reporting and analytics.
Committed to community and professional service, Mr. Vilandre served as an officer and was elected president of the Silicon Valley chapter of FEI (Financial Executives International) and western area vice president on the executive committee of FEI. He holds an MBA from the Harvard Business School and BS in accounting from Loyola College in Montreal.
"The Computer History Museum is the pre-eminent museum in the world to collect, document and share the touch points of the computing revolution and its impact on the human experience. I am thrilled to find an organization committed to accomplishing this task on a high-quality basis and to be a part of this effort," said Vilandre.
