@2rcg - Yeah, like a bad version of Charlie's Angels.
But Intel will be super diverse all the way down.
What has DB actually done at Intel? She gets zero credit for DCG - it was all KS who developed the long-term XEON strategy when AMD was kicking Intel's a$$ in servers. DB just rode it for several years and developed NOTHING new (SKL-EP? Really??). She will add nothing other than empowering women, which doesn't help 10nm or develop ANY new architectural advances. Intel is cooked.
Just give DB 2-3 years as Intel CEO, and she will be competing against Meg and Marissa for the worst female CEO of a tech company in history.
I nominate Marissa Mayer, former Yahoo CEO, since she did so well rescuing that company.
Look to the top and the BoD if you have any questions about how a company who’s competitive and strategic future is in technology as to why it lost its way the last decade.
Pick the wrong CEO or not challenge his strategy and execution is how you got to the intel of today, past the tipping point
Meg Whitman
I don't really care other than someone who can keep the stock price rising. But with a recent history of "personal issues" and LOA, then 7 months at Google, I wonder if she cares enough to fight the board and give Intel a long term strategy. TMG has to go, or at least design with TSMC tools/process for a future major product line to give TMG some competition. They act like they have a captive customer, which of course they do.
The new CEO needs to look at Brian's exec level hires and clean house - Staples, Starbucks, Bain consultants ... really just people with no clue about the technology sectors. Then kill all the stupid BK initiatives that havent already self distructed - drones, faux fireworks, self driving cars and planes, smart sunglasses, ...
Of course the BoD will select an Intel relic. All 300 VP's will be safe along with upper management and it will be business as usual on the titanic instead of selecting an outsider to clean house with a different perspective.
At least she seems to be a nicer person when speaking compared to some others
Absurd, ridiculous selectio, if true. Intel needs a fresh set of eyes, not one of the cronies from inside.
@TZ2Fr0p-jeu: if she were the one, would some executives leave already?
Word here internally is that DB has been selected as new CEO, should be anounced next week at the latest.
She has long been floated as a top candidate to fill the CEO post at Santa Clara-based Intel, including when the job became available in 2013. Instead, another longtime Intel leader, Brian Krzanich, was named CEO, and led the company for five years, until his abrupt departure last month following a board investigation into a "past consensual relationship" with another Intel employee that violated a non-fraternization policy.
Bryant was "the strongest candidate for a job before (Krzanich) and was far more successful than him and very well-regarded inside the company,” longtime Intel analyst Rob Enderle told the Business Journal last month, after Krzanich's resignation. “Second, she’s a woman, which I think Intel could use right about now.”
