Google executive to speak at '07 commencement
Omid Kordestani, senior vice president of global sales and development of Google Inc., spoke at San Jose State University's 150th commencement ceremony on May 26, 2007. Kordestani, a SJSU alumnus who graduated from the university in 1984 with a B.S. in electrical engineering, will gave guidance to an approximate crowd of 5,100 undergraduate students and 2,620 graduate students. "The search for a commencement speaker generally starts in late summer or early fall of the year before the May ceremony," said Sylvia Light, director of communications and publication for SJSU in an e-mail. "At San Jose State, it has been the tradition to have as keynote speaker a distinguished graduate who has maintained a connection with the university." According to Light, SJSU commencement speakers do not receive a fee or honorarium. However,the university does pay for any travel expenses the speaker may incur. A dinner hosted by the president is held in the speaker's honor on the evening before commencement. Kordestani, who was born in Piranshahr, Iran moved to San Jose in 1979 and became one of Google's first employees when he joined the company in May 1999. According to a press release, Kordestani was also named one of Time magazine's "100 People Who Shape Our World."
Light said the nomination of Kordestani came forward from the Council of the Deans.
"He is directly responsible for Google's worldwide revenue generation efforts as well as the day-to-day operations of the company's sales organization," Light said. "Before that he had a very successful career at Netscape. He has maintained a close relationship with the SJSU College of Engineering, from which he graduated."
