2015 Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award

A successful technology executive, Lynn Reedy has worked in software and software development her entire career. As senior vice president and CTO at eBay from 1999 to 2006, she led the complete redesign of the company’s website—both hardware and software—without disrupting the auction site’s operations.

Prior to working at eBay, Reedy was chief information officer for seven years at Miller Freeman, a trade show producer and publisher of technical and industry-specific magazines. While there, she implemented strategic business systems and developed the company’s Internet strategy for more than 200 websites.
