Intel Convenes Global Government Affairs and Business Leaders to Advise on Global Public Affairs Issues Affecting the Semiconductor Industry

Intel Corporation today announced the formation of a Government Affairs Advisory Council to provide Intel executives with a broad perspective on global government and political affairs. The Council will bring a unique combination of skills, experience and perspectives from around the world to help Intel and the technology and semiconductor industry address surging semiconductor demand, the impact of the global chip shortage, and the importance of public-private partnerships to ensure a healthy, balanced global semiconductor manufacturing supply chain.

“Our new Advisory Board includes eight outstanding members who bring decades of experience in global government affairs and business, as well as valuable perspectives from outside Intel,” said Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. “In today’s society-wide challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic and the global semiconductor shortage, their insights will help Intel navigate the increasingly complex landscape and help us better fulfill our mission of creating world-changing technology that benefits everyone on Earth.”

The members of the advisory board will provide invaluable advice and perspective as Intel executes its product, platform and "IDM 2.0" strategies. The eight board advisors are global government affairs experts and business leaders covering the United States, Europe and China, and will bring a wide range of talent and experience to Intel. The board will provide Intel's leadership and board of directors with international perspectives on key strategic areas, helping Intel navigate the global geopolitical landscape and innovate quickly to meet customer priorities, including the continued growth in global demand for semiconductor production capacity.
