Dr. Klawe has been president of Harvey Mudd College, a private liberal arts college in Claremont, Calif., whose focus is on engineering, science and mathematics, since 2006. Prior to joining Harvey Mudd, she served as Dean of Engineering and Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University from 2003 to 2006. From 1988 to 2002, she held several positions at the University of British Columbia including Dean of Science, Vice President of Student and Academic Services and head of the Department of Computer Science. She has also worked at IBM Research in California, the University of Toronto and Oakland University in Michigan. Dr. Klawe received her bachelor's degree and doctorate in mathematics from the University of Alberta, Canada.

The addition of these two eminent technologists, educators and innovators to our Board will serve Broadcom well for years to come, said Scott McGregor, Broadcom's president and chief executive officer. Henry has been instrumental in developing and implementing Broadcom's innovation and technology strategy which has catapulted the company to its leadership position in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, McGregor said. Dr. Klawe is also an important addition to our Board given the critical importance to our business of scientific and engineering innovation. Dr. Klawe's understanding of scientific research and the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) talent pipeline, as well as her experience in the management and operations of large organizations will be invaluable to our Board.
