Intel Overhauls Leadership, Tapping Trump Economic Aide to Lead Government Affairs

The shake-up follows a roughly 10% U.S. stake that has intensified Intel’s engagement with Washington.

Overview

  • Robin Colwell was appointed senior vice president of government affairs after serving as deputy assistant to President Donald Trump and deputy director of the National Economic Council.
  • Pushkar Ranade was named interim chief technology officer in addition to his role as chief of staff, with a mandate to drive a new CTO Office focused on quantum computing, advanced interconnects and novel materials.
  • Annie Shea Weckesser became senior vice president and chief marketing and communications officer to unify brand strategy, corporate reputation and market engagement.
  • James Chew was appointed vice president of Intel Government Technologies to oversee the company’s U.S. government business following earlier leadership departures.
  • The moves fill key vacancies created by recent turnover, including former CTO Sachin Katti leaving last month to join OpenAI.
