  Monica Beltrametti


Dr. Monica Beltrametti is vice president of the Xerox Research Centre Europe (XRCE) with headquarters in Grenoble, France.

The research centre develops software technologies for Xerox solutions and services, while drawing from European scientific know-how and customer knowledge. XRCE's unique competencies in analysing text and images in documents are at the heart of many of the components in the ‘Smarter Document ManagementSM suite and have led to the creation of several new technology-based service offerings at Xerox and Xerox start-ups. Others have been sold to companies with whom Xerox nurtures a business partnership.

Beltrametti joined Xerox in 1993 when XRCE was created. She helped build up the centre creating an international scientific community of about fifteen nationalities. For two years she was vice president and general manager of the Xerox Worldwide Process, Consumer and Utilities Business, with responsibility for the Pharmaceutical, Petroleum & Chemical, Consumer and Utilities industry segments within Xerox Global Services. From 2006 to 2008, Beltrametti was head of Global Technology and Offering Development (GTOD) at Xerox Global Services, a role she took on while continuing her leadership at XRCE. The GTOD group builds and deploys the software platforms and customer offerings that underpin the growth and leadership position of Xerox in document services.

In Europe, she has been part of many European Union boards and initiatives and is currently part of the Women in Science and Technology (WiST) working group. In Grenoble, Dr Beltrametti is on the advisory board of the International Business School.

Prior to joining Xerox, Beltrametti worked in Canada as director of Computing and Network Services at the University of Alberta, where she pioneered a multi-million dollar programme to modernise campus computing that earned the university several North-American awards. In Canada she also worked as director of Software Development at Myrias Research Corporation, developer of scientific parallel computers under contract with the America and Canadian Departments of Defense.

Beltrametti has a PhD in theoretical Astrophysics from the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Munich (Germany). She has held scientific positions in this field with this institute and a number of other research organisations in Germany, and at NASA in California.

She has received awards and fellowships from Xerox, the German, US and Canadian governments, and from research institutions such as the Max Planck Institute. She was one of the first young scientists to receive the German Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) fellowship to study in Germany.

Beltrametti was born in Rome, Italy.
