Dorothy W. Etter
BA, 2000, Economics
Occupation/Employer: Ariba, Inc.
News: Upon graduation I moved to Pittsburgh with my new husband and started working for an interesting “dot com”
company, FreeMarkets. The concept of the company was to apply “free market” forces to the purchasing of Fortune 500
companies through the use of Internet-enabled auctions. My original title was “Market Maker”. It’s been an interesting
adventure to actually see some of the economic concepts of market forces, such as supply and demand, actually play out in
real-world scenarios. Our company and concept has been the subject of several economics papers and at least one book! We
have gone through changes, including a merger with a former competitor, Ariba, but it has continued to be interesting to
build a new business and see so much of my academic experience in a real business case.
