Longtime Silicon Valley leader Dan’l Lewin was named president and CEO of The Computer History Museum. In this capacity, he will help develop a new strategy for the museum, which chronicles the decades of achievements of Silicon Valley’s leaders.

The Mountain View, California museum has exhibits that chronicle computing history, and it is also a gathering place for events involving the region’s tech leaders. I’ve been to it many times — for stories that took me into the old stacks of documents, as well as to exhibits that showed off everything from the physics of car crashes to the history of games.
