Steve Bratt joined the World Wide Web
Consortium in January 2002, and is the Chief Executive Officer of the
Consortium. He has primary responsibility for worldwide operations (3 Hosts,
plus 17 additional Offices), including overall management of Member
relations, the W3C Process, the W3C Team, strategic planning, budget, legal
matters, liaisons and major events. Steve also holds the position of Research
Scientist within MIT's Computer Science
and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
Prior to joining the W3C, Steve held leadership and research positions within industry and government, and served on scientific and arms control delegations. In 1997, he was named Coordinator of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization's International Data Centre in Vienna, Austria. There he was responsible for establishing the data center, global communications infrastructure, and standards for data exchange between more than 300 world-wide sensors and 170 nations. From 1984 to 1997, Steve led research initiatives -- first at Science Applications International Corporation and then as a program manager at Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency -- to develop advanced concepts for real-time global sensor monitoring, intelligent data analysis and international telecommunications. Since 1993, Web technologies have played the central role in support of the sharing of data, information and knowledge within the complex systems that he has designed and deployed.
Steve received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his B.S. from the Pennsylvania State University.
