Alex d'Arbeloff

Alexander Vladimir d'Arbeloff (December 21 1927 - July 8 2008) was the American co-founder of Teradyne, a multi-billion dollar Boston, Massachusetts-based manufacturer of automatic test equipment. After graduating in 1949 with an SB in management from MIT [http://alum.mit.edu] , where he became a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, he and fellow MIT alumnus Nick DeWolf built Teradyne into one of the largest players in the global ATE market as integrated circuits became increasingly important to every aspect of modern technology. Upon his retirement from Teradyne in 2000, he was succeeded by George Chamillard.

D'Arbeloff was later a director of Lotus Development Corporation and a director of the Whitehead Institute [http://www.wi.mit.edu/news/archives/2004/wi_0317.html] . He became a member of the MIT Corporation in 1989, and was Chairman of the Corporation from 1997 to 2003. He was a Trustee of Partners Health Care System, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the New England Conservatory. He was also a former chairman of the Massachusetts High Technology Council.

In 1993, d'Arbeloff and his wife, Brit d'Arbeloff, established the Alex and Brit d'Arbeloff Fund for Excellence in MIT Education.

His brother, Dmitri was a founder of Millipore Corp.
