Brian
Krzanich was born on
May 9, 1960 in Santa Clara County, California. Of Croatian heritage, Brian
obtained his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from San Jose State University. He
also holds a patent for semiconductor processing. Brian’s career has not taken
him to faraway foreign lands. In fact he has been connected all his life with
one company based in the state where he was born. Yet if you get to work for
computer chip powerhouse Intel, there’s really no need to be moving far from
California anyways, especially if one day you get promoted to the top post.
Brian
joined Intel in 1982 in New Mexico as an engineer. Since then he has held a
number of senior leadership roles within the manufacturing organization of
Intel. Brian
has been noted for his open-minded approach to problem solving and listening to
customer’s needs which has extended the company’s product and technology
leadership and created billions of dollars in value for the company.
He
led a broad transformation in 2006 of Intel’s factories and supply chain,
improving factory velocity by more than 60 percent and doubling customer responsiveness.
He was eventually promoted to COO in January 2012. Brian finally got the top post when he was
promoted to CEO of Intel Corporation and elected a member of the board of
directors on May 16 2013.
