Critical Dependencies
CEO of Intel since March 2025, leading the company's foundry turnaround around the 18A and 18A-P process nodes after a long career as CEO of Cadence Design Systems and as a semiconductor venture investor at Walden International. Under Tan, Intel has secured a 9.9% US government equity stake, a $5 billion NVIDIA investment, and early design-partner commitments from Apple and Microsoft. Intel's turnaround gained further steam in Q2 2026, with revenue up 25.4% year-over-year to $16.13 billion as Tan framed the company's AI-era reset around Foundry execution and deeper Taiwan supply-chain ties at Computex 2026, while also pushing an approximately 15% headcount reduction to streamline the organization.
