Intel Appoints Semiconductor Veterans to Board as Leadership Transition Continues

Eric Meurice and Steve Sanghi join Intel's board, bringing decades of chip industry expertise during a pivotal search for a new CEO.

Intel has added Eric Meurice, former CEO of ASML, and Steve Sanghi, interim CEO of Microchip Technology, to its board of directors.
Both new board members have extensive semiconductor industry experience and previously held roles at Intel earlier in their careers.
The appointments restore semiconductor expertise to Intel's board, addressing a gap created by the departure of Lip-Bu Tan in August.
Intel is currently seeking a new CEO after the recent removal of Pat Gelsinger, whose tenure faced challenges in advancing Intel's chipmaking capabilities.
The company continues to face pressure to regain its competitive edge in advanced chip manufacturing and AI-focused technologies.
