Intel Corporation today announced the appointment of Dr. Naga Chandrasekaran as chief global operations officer, executive vice president and general manager of Intel Foundry Manufacturing and Supply Chain organization. Chandrasekaran joins Intel from Micron, where he served as senior vice president for Technology Development. He will be a member of Intel's executive leadership team and report to CEO Pat Gelsinger.

Chandrasekaran succeeds Keyvan Esfarjani, who has decided to retire from Intel after nearly 30 years of dedicated service. Esfarjani's distinguished career set a strong foundation for Intel Foundry, and his leadership in global supply chain resilience and manufacturing excellence has helped to position Intel's business for long-term success. He will remain with Intel through the end of the year to ensure a seamless transition.



Chandrasekaran joins Intel on Aug. 12, and he will be responsible for Intel Foundry's worldwide manufacturing operations, including Fab Sort Manufacturing, Assembly Test Manufacturing, strategic planning for Intel Foundry, corporate quality assurance and supply chain.

"Naga is a highly accomplished executive whose deep semiconductor manufacturing and technology development expertise will be a tremendous addition to our team," Gelsinger said. "As we continue to build a globally resilient semiconductor supply chain and create the world's first systems foundry for the AI era, Naga's leadership will help us to accelerate our progress and capitalize on the significant long-term growth opportunities ahead."

During more than 20 years at Micron, Chandrasekaran served in various senior leadership roles. Most recently, he led Micron's global technology development and engineering efforts related to the scaling of current memory technologies, advanced packaging technology and emerging technology solutions. Previously, he served as Micron's senior vice president of Process R&D and Operations. His experience spans the breadth of semiconductor manufacturing and R&D, including process and equipment development, device technology, mask technology and more.

Chandrasekaran earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Madras; both a master's and a doctorate degree in mechanical engineering from Oklahoma State University; a master's degree in information and data science from the University of California, Berkeley; and dual executive MBAs from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA-Anderson School of Management) and the National University of Singapore.

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.

Dr. Chandrasekaran will work closely with the other Intel Foundry leaders: Dr. Ann Kelleher, executive vice president and general manager, Foundry Technology Development; Kevin O'Buckley, senior vice president and general manager of Foundry Services; and Lorenzo Flores, chief financial officer of Intel Foundry. Together, this team brings a breadth of foundry business and technical leadership experience that will help Intel achieve its goal of creating the first systems foundry for the AI era.

What does this even mean, no further explanation, Intel?

The lighting on his picture looks off. Like it was AI generated, or at least AI enhanced. Light from the top back on his shoulders but not on his head. Just odd overall look to it.

Must be his own ai foundry tech that got him the position.

They should have hired me instead.

They should have used Nvidia for ray tracing?
You mean, Ponte Vecchio (or whatever Intel has these days) has a floating point division bug, which makes light rays travel in an Arc instead of a Straight Line?

Sure, though a A770 could have probably handled 4 lights if given enough time.

I just couldn't recommend AMD because people only use them if you don't care about lighting effects and want raster only.

Fun fact, the Pentium FDIV bug is 30 years old this year, depending on how you count it was either in June 13 (first notice by a third party) or will be in October 24 (bug report sent to Intel) or October 30 (public description of the bug).

These 3 different dates where calculated by a Pentium with the FDIV bug so your milage my very.

That said Intel wasn't quick between discovery and it's chain of notices, it seems things don't really change.

Yes, when given just enough crack, CxOs are "stable".

You think that repeated MBA studies have erased or overwritten his engineering knowledge?
And Micron that he has left does not look like a sinking ship led by all pure MBAs.

MLID in the latest video suggested that Keyvan Esfarjani has been kicked out due to problems in Arizona facility which probably caused current oxidation problems.

True or not, customers who have booked Intel's foundry services probably have some very annoying questions right now.
