Dr. Borg received her Ph.D. in computer science from the Courant Institute at New York University in 1981 and went on to establish an impressive career in computer technology. She was active in removing barriers that prevented women and minorities from entering careers in technology. In 1997 she founded the Institute for Women and Technology that continues to support women technology leaders.
Google is one of the largest providers of search engine tools and other technology products like Gmail and Google Maps for consumers and cloud computing tools for businesses. The technology giant was established in 1998 and is headquartered in Mountain View, California.
