Patrick Paul Gelsinger, an American business manager and engineer, is currently the CEO of Intel Corporation, one of the largest multinational technology companies in the United States of America, which specializes in computer chips and processors.
Gelsinger was born on March 5, 1961, and grew up on his family’s farm, in rural Robsonia, Pennsylvania, USA. As a teenager, he scored high on the Lincoln Tech electronics test and won a scholarship. He was educated at Konrad Weiser High School, and at the age of 16 he joined college, and after graduation he worked as a technician on WFMZ television. In 1979, at the age of 18, he moved to Silicon Valley to work for Intel Corporation in the field of quality control.
While working there, Gelsinger completed his education to obtain a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, graduating cum laude from the University of Santa Clara in 1983, and then earning a master’s degree in electrical engineering and computer science from Stanford University in 1985.
In 1987, Gelsinger co-authored his first book on programming the fourth-generation 80486 microprocessor, which was released in 1989. At the age of 32, he became the youngest vice president in Intel’s history.
Under the direction of Andrew Grove, the company’s then-CEO, Gelsinger became the company’s chief technology officer in 2001, leading the development of the company’s technologies, including Wi-Fi, UPS, Intel Core and Intel Xenon processors, and more. And 14 other chip projects.
In September 2009, he left Intel to join EMC Corporation as President and Chief Operating Officer.
In 2012, he became CEO of VMware Cloud Technology, becoming a seasoned CEO, acquiring new leadership skills.
Gelsinger rejoined Intel as its new CEO on February 15, 2021, after previously working for 30 years at the company in many engineering and technical leadership roles. This came in the wake of pressure to restructure the company, due to the decline in the value of the company’s shares.
Gelsinger led Intel’s course correction, including building two plants in Arizona worth $20 billion for the planned expansion, and she credited that decision with a nearly 8% rise in Intel’s share price. On March 23, 2021, Intel shares rose by more than 6%, following Gelsinger’s statements regarding the company’s strategy.
In March 2022, Gelsinger personally announced the launch of a $20 billion chip factory near Magdeburg, Germany, and the factory created about 7,000 jobs.
In 2008, Gelsinger was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, serves as director of the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), and is a member of the National Security Communications Advisory Committee (NSTAC). Gelsinger also holds eight patents in the areas of design, communications development and computer engineering. And in 2022 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Ohio University.
