Change the Equation (CTEq), a national coalition of CEOs committed to improving STEM education for all young people in the U.S., announced that CA Technologies CEO Mike Gregoire has accepted a position on its board of directors. Gregoire joins current board member CEOs from DuPont, Freeport-McMoRan, and Xerox, and retired CEO/Chairman of the Board of Intel Corporation.

As CEO, Gregoire is widely recognized as a strategic thinker in the information technology industry. He exemplifies CA’s commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen. During his tenure, CA has strengthened its engagement with the communities where its employees live and work, with an emphasis on advancing STEM education for underserved young people. 

CA’s goal, through their efforts in STEM education, is to help transform the lives of young people around the globe and encourage the development of future leaders in IT. Under Gregoire’s leadership, the company has been active in STEM education through its Tech Girls Rock partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which aims to deliver innovative and inspiring learning opportunities to tween and teen girls. CA Technologies is not only funding the initiative, but its employees are participating in workshop events, donating their time to provide expertise and real-world experience.

“We are delighted to have Mike’s leadership and vision at Change the Equation,” said Craig Barrett, CTEq chairman. “He brings a fresh perspective to the board and his passion for STEM education will be instrumental in helping us ensure that every young person in America has a good start in STEM.” 

“Having a strong foundation in STEM is a significant predictor for future success,” Gregoire said. “CA Technologies is fueled by passion in STEM and in joining Change the Equation’s board, I am excited to help ignite that passion in every young person in the country. The work that CTEq does is helping to ensure that Corporate America is best poised to help deliver on the promise and excitement of STEM.”
