As the VP of Engineering, Denenberg is responsible for leading the engineering team that manages the company's consumer-facing products, including Huffingtonpost.com, Huffpost Live, and advertising and content management platforms.

Denenberg’s visit to UAlbany comes on the heels of the University’s recent announcement that it is developing a curriculum and associated hiring plan for a new undergraduate program in computer engineering. Available through the College of Computing and Information (CCI), it is intended to expand the University’s profile and align with its other academic offerings in STEM fields. UAlbany is targeting student applications for fall 2015.
Established through the generosity of Albert Bunshaft '80 and Caryn Bunshaft '82, The Bunshaft Endowment in the College of Computing and Information provides support for the lecture, which was designed to provide information to the student community about a broad range of topics related to careers in computing science. The lecture is also supported by University Auxiliary Services (UAS).
