 I like to spend 10 minutes to read about wiki article. 

Career[edit]

Intel[edit]

Krzanich began working as a process engineer at Intel's chip factory in New Mexico in 1982.[6][9][10] He became manager of a fabrication plant in Chandler, Arizona, in 1996, and later supervised assembly and testing facilities. He held management roles within Intel's manufacturing division,[11] managed a plant in Massachusetts,[5] and began overseeing the company's factories and supply chains in 2007.[6][9][12] Intel removed conflict minerals from its microprocessors while Krzanich was in charge of the company's supply chain.[13][14] He cited moral obligation as the reason to take action, and said the issue was "very important and personal" to him.[15][16] Intel worked to use conflict-free minerals for all microprocessors by 2014 and all products by 2016, and Krzanich was included in the documentary film Merci Congo (2016).[17][18][19]

In January 2012, Krzanich was promoted to the role of chief operating officer.[6][9][12] He led Intel's China strategy in this role.[7][20]

Krzanich served as chief executive officer (CEO) of Intel starting in May 2013.[6][9][21] In this role, Krzanich has been credited for expanding Intel's offerings beyond central processing units (CPUs) and into other technologies, including 5G wireless networksartificial intelligenceautonomous vehicles,[22][23] cloud computingdrones, and wearables.[9][12][24][25] Intel has also explored artificialaugmented, and virtual reality,[26][27] as well as machine learning, during his tenure.[28][29]

In January 2015, he announced Intel's $300 million Diversity in Technology initiative to support the company's goal to achieve full representation of women and underrepresented minorities in Intel's U.S. workforce by 2020, and accelerate diversity and inclusion across the technology industry at large. These activities include funding engineering scholarships at historically black colleges and universities, establishing a professional gaming women's team, and sponsoring female students to attend game developer conferences in partnership with the International Game Developers Association.[30][31][32] In addition to Intel's Diversity in Technology initiative, the company's Hack Harassment campaign has worked to address cyberbullying with Krzanich as CEO.[33][34]
