Career at IBM

Mandy Chessell joined IBM in 1987.[3] She is based at IBM's Hursley Park location near Winchester in Hampshire, UK.

Her early work focused on distributed transaction processing, adding features to products such as CICS, Encina, Component Broker and WebSphere Application Server. She has also work on event management, business process modelling and outside-in design (OID).

Today, Chessell's work is focused on developing model-driven tools to simplify the analysis and design of large systems and then to automate their development. This work covers the development of user interfaces, services, information integration technology in the field of Data Governance and Master Data Management.

Achievements

In 2000, she was among the first group of MIT Technology Review magazine's TR100.

In 2001, she won the Royal Academy of Engineering Silver Medal for the invention and engineering of Reusable Software Component Architecture.[4]

In 2002, she was elected a Fellow of The Royal Academy of Engineering.[5]

In 2004, Chessell won the British Computer Society nomination for the Women's Engineering Society "Karen Burt" award.[6]

In 2006, Chessell won a Female Inventor of the Year Award for building capacity for innovation.[7]

Also in 2006, Chessell was awarded a prize for the Best Woman in the Corporate Sector at the Blackberry Women in Technology awards.[8]

Chessell frequently lectures on topics related to Computer Science and, in particular, innovation. Such lectures take place at universities such as Queen Mary University of London.[9]
