I could not be more excited to be joining the A16Z team. I have spent the last 35 yrs of my professional life w a number of companies, in a variety of industries, w some incredible teams and amazing people —- all in the pursuit of excellence. I am very grateful to David and the A16Z team for the opportunity to engage w the portfolio company founders in pursuit of their dreams and ambitions.

In my final week as Intel CEO, I sent a letter to the more than 110,000 employees around the world to say thank you. It has been an honor to lead this incredible company and its talented team and I leave knowing that Intel’s best days are ahead.

"Intel has also expanded its chip production by leaps and bounds over the last several years..." I am proud of the 'One Intel' approach to meeting the extraordinary demand for PCs in this historic year. Team #intel worked across, up and down the supply chain to deliver for our customers. #weareintel https://lnkd.in/dBwWHCE

As leaders, we must ask ourselves how we create the right environment and the right culture so every employee can contribute to their fullest every day. Stories like Intel supply chain analyst Brittany Lee’s remind us that people can succeed when they’re given the support and help needed to take big risks. https://intel.ly/3tbkZTt

Congratulations to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on this historic day! As you focus on uniting our nation, we urge you to enact strong policies on manufacturing, digital infrastructure, and STEM education that will create jobs and opportunities while strengthening America’s position as the world leader in technological innovation. We have ambitious goals at Intel Corporation and stand at the ready to help your administration build toward an equitable and prosperous future. https://lnkd.in/g7Z6tQe

As an activist, leader and peacemaker, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired us to live and act with conviction. Today, as we honor his legacy, the peaceful pursuit of equality is more important than ever. #MLKDay

We are in an era of distributed intelligence where everything is increasingly becoming a computer, driving the need for exponentially more computing. In response to incredible customer demand, Intel has doubled its combined 14nm and 10nm capacity over the past few years by finding innovative ways to deliver more output within existing capacity and investing in new capacity. This video tells the story of how our manufacturing & operations employees did it: https://lnkd.in/gBzkgcg #manufacturing

We're proud of the progress we've made in diversity, but we are not satisfied. Today, Intel released its latest representation data and 2019 pay data in EEO-1 format. As a company we set big goals and are sharing our data openly to hold ourselves accountable, but we are also working with our customers and partners in the industry to move faster together on this journey to diversity, inclusion and equity. https://lnkd.in/gBr_2PE
