Intel Corporation today announced the appointment of Kevin O'Buckley as senior vice president and general manager of Foundry Services, the customer service and ecosystem operations division of Intel Foundry. O'Buckley starts today and becomes a member of Intel's executive leadership team reporting to CEO Pat Gelsinger. He succeeds Stuart Pann, who will retire from Intel after 35 years of service at the end of May and remain an adviser to support a seamless transition.

"Kevin brings a unique blend of expertise from across the semiconductor industry, having served as a senior leader and technologist in both foundry and fabless companies," said Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. "As we continue building the world's first systems foundry for the AI era, Kevin will play a critical role in helping customers achieve their goals by leveraging Intel Foundry's unique ability to deliver process and packaging technology through a resilient and sustainable supply chain."



O'Buckley will spearhead the growth of Intel's foundry business and continue to build out its ecosystem of intellectual property and electronic design automation partners. In this role, O'Buckley will work closely with Intel Foundry's other senior leaders to fulfill the company's ambition to create the first system foundry for the AI era.

The Intel Foundry business encompasses Intel's technology development, global manufacturing, and foundry customer service and ecosystem operations. It brings together all the critical components that fabless customers need to design and manufacture chips for a new era of AI-driven computing.

O'Buckley joins Intel with more than 25 years of semiconductor industry experience. Most recently, he was senior vice president of hardware engineering for the Custom, Compute and Storage Group at Marvell Technologies. He joined Marvell as part of its 2019 acquisition of Avera Semiconductor, where he served as chief executive. He also served as vice president of Product Development at Global Foundries, and before that spent more than 17 years at IBM leading technology development and manufacturing organizations. O'Buckley has a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from Alfred University and a Master of Science in electrical engineering from the University of Vermont.

Pann retires from Intel after 35 years of distinguished service with a wide-ranging legacy of achievements including successfully standing up Intel Foundry under Intel's new operating model. Pann previously served as senior vice president, chief business transformation officer and general manager of Intel's Corporate Planning Group.

Sooo.... their next headline will read "Intel raises prices by 35% for all foundry products, effective yesterday" ....

Hopefully this will be enough to cover Kevy's salary, bonuses, yacht, beach house & limo, and maybe even a lear jet, just for good measure, hehehe :)
 
USA Tax Paid Foundry Industry neat.

socialism for the MegaCorps, but not for us :roll:

America is the most ass backwards place I have ever lived. but since 37% of the total debt is still from wars 3 decades ago, and no one wants to pay it off, while simultaneously screaming about how forgiving student loans which is a tiny tiny fraction of that amount is a horrible idea, I fear the intellect of this land has declined to a point where USA will collapse, in probably another 10-15 years. lol
