Nadia Butler says of her current position, “Everything in my life seems to have worked together to bring me to this spot.” In early childhood, she developed an appreciation for creative energy and the importance of technology. Her father was a researcher at Bell Labs when the initial superconductor work was being done; this often led to very unusual dinner conversations. She remembers her father’s prediction---years before even the invention of magnetic tape---that information eventually would be stored on plastic disks. She also remembers the joy her father’s work brought him because Bell Labs recognized and rewarded employees and found a way to harness their individual creativity. It is this same environment that Ms. Butler has re-created for programmers at ESi.

Ms. Butler has held executive and management positions in several technology firms:

• Principal of NPDB, Inc., a consulting firm specializing in managing complex technology-driven procurements
• Vice-president of operations for Thermo Technology Ventures and also a member of parent company Thermo Electron’s Executive Bench, a cadre of executive resources
• Manager of business development for the French nuclear technology firm NUMATIC, Inc.
• VP and manager of the Environmental Decision & Information Systems Department of Roy F. Weston, Inc.
• Deputy manager for Jacobs Engineering Group
• Project manager for Battelle Memorial Institute
• Engineer for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission

She earned her B.S. degree in nuclear engineering at the University of Maryland, did graduate studies in energy and the environment at George Washington University and participated in Harvard University’s Entrepreneurship Program
