After a 27-year journey, I voluntarily retired from Intel last month. Reflecting on this milestone, I am filed with a sense of completeness. My career traced the history of Intel scaling compute technology everywhere and touching the lives of millions. From the early days of media-rich Pentium PCs to leading the deployment of groundbreaking technologies like USB, WIFI, fiber optics, high-speed Ethernet, Data Center virtualization, Cloud, and AI, my career has been an incredible adventure.
What motivated me to make a career at Intel was the opportunity to craft a product strategy role where I could influence and lead the industry's roadmap, development, and scale of the next critical technology alongside thousands of dedicated collaborators. Working at the foundation of the IT stack—the silicon and software that underpins everything else—brought me immense satisfaction
Recently, as I observed the pervasive impact of technology on our world, I realized that my role and time at Intel had reached its natural conclusion. It's time to pursue new opportunities to empower broader adoption of AI
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to work alongside the brightest and kindest people across every segment in our industry. While raising a family in beautiful Oregon, I cultivated friendships that span the globe. To all those who have played a part in my journey—whether through collaboration, education, mentoring or shared laughter—thank you. Your partnership was invaluable, and I am deeply grateful for the experiences we've shared together. Shout out to Harley Spring Rob Hays and Naveen Rao who took the time to coach me and role modeled everyday.
In this new phase, each day has presented opportunities for self-discovery and surprise. Rather than viewing this period as "time off," I see it as "my time on," where every moment is a chance to explore, listen and be. I will share more about what is next in a future post.
