Can we speculate possible CEOs?
- CEO#1 Ph.D in physics
- CEO#2 Ph.D in chemistry and physics
- CEO#3 Ph.D. in chemical engineering
- CEO#4 Ph.D. in materials science
- CEO#5 Master of Business Administration
- CEO#6 Bachelor's degree in chemistry.
If it is internal with process in mind (top-to-bottom);
-> Dr. Michael C. Mayberry w/ Ph.D. in physical chemistry
-> Sohail U. Ahmed w/ master’s degree in chemical engineering
-> Joshua M. Walden w/ bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering
//Pretty sure there is more, but it is a hassle to find degrees and how long they've been at Intel.
I think, it will need to be someone with a chemical degree at best if it is process orientated. If they hire someone electrical it might point to a spinning-off of the Fabs.
Intel Capital Global Summit, speakers includes:
-> Brian Krzanich, Intel CEO
-> Michael Mayberry, Intel CTO and Intel Labs managing director.
So, he is up in the topology getting slotted with CEO.
However, if Intel leadership internally is not good. A young-ish outsider is more likely to cleanse the olde ways.
