Life and education

Gelsinger grew up on a farm in an Amish part of Pennsylvania.[4] He began working at Intel as a quality-control technician in 1979, at age 18. While at Intel, he earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at Santa Clara University in 1983, and a master's degree from Stanford University in 1985.[4]

Career

Gelsinger was the architect of the original Intel 80486 processor.[2] As CTO of Intel he also launched the conference Intel Developer Forum as a counterpart to Microsoft's WinHEC. In September 2009, he left Intel to join EMC.[5]

In late 2012 some industry analysts named Gelsinger as a possible successor to Steve Ballmer as CEO of Microsoft.[6][7][8]

Intel announced the appointment of Gelsinger as their new CEO on January 13, 2021, effective February 15.[9][1] A letter sent from shareholder and activist investor Dan Loeb of Third Point Management to the board calling on Intel to hire an investment adviser to recuperate the company's lagging market share came before Gelsinger's return.[2]

Personal commitments

In 2013, Gelsinger cofounded Transforming the Bay with Christ (TBC), a coalition of business leaders, venture capitalists, non-profit leaders and pastors aiming to convert one million people over the next decade.[10][11]
