Alexander Vladimir d'Arbeloff (December 21, 1927 – July 8, 2008) was the American co-founder of Teradyne, a multibillion-dollar Boston, Massachusetts-based manufacturer of automatic test equipment (ATE).

Early life

He was born to a Georgian noble Vladimir d'Arbeloff, from Koutais, and German-Russian Baroness Catherine T. (Tiepolt) d'Arbeloff.

Career

After graduating in 1949 with an SB in management from the MIT Sloan School of Management,[3] where he became a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, he and fellow MIT alumnus Nick DeWolf founded and 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.[4] 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.

In 1999, d'Arbeloff and his wife made a $100,000 donation to the ALS Therapy Development Foundation, which later grew to become the ALS Therapy Development Institute,[5] the largest dedicated ALS lab in the world.

Death

In 2008 Alex died of cancer.

Personal life

His brother, Dimitri was a founder of Millipore Corp.

Wikipedia has Dimitri as being the founder of the Millipore Corp. This is not true. Millipore was founded by John Bush (son of the famous Vannevar Bush, consultant to FDR on the Atomic Bomb development). John Bush (who hired me in 1964, employee no. 104) with a small team of engineers and scientists headed the company for at least 5-7 years at which time he hired Dimitri to be president.

I worked there ten years during the formative years of the company.
