Map to CIO
How did Stacy Smith become CIO of Intel?
He explains.
Hi, I'm Stacy Smith. I'm Intel's vice president and chief information officer and I'm going to talk today about how did a non-technology guy get to this job.
So I'm going to start by drawing a map of the world, and you will find that one of the ways that I did not get this job was through my drawing ability. So please bear with me here.
I'm going to start by drawing then the great State of Texas, unfortunately we don't have burnt orange to do this and so I started with Intel out of the University of Texas. I was what we call a new college graduate coming out of school there, and I joined Intel in Arizona. In Arizona, I had several jobs. I worked in several of our product divisions and a couple of our factories there. From Arizon,a I was asked to go out to Puerto Rico. I'll draw that down over here. So we'll call that Arizona, we'll call this Texas, and we'll call this Puerto Rico, and in Puerto Rico I was helping to run a very large board and system manufacturing plant that we had in Puerto Rico in the mid '90s.
From Puerto Rico, I was asked to come out to Penang, Malaysia, and help run our assembly test network. This was a group of 10,000 people running factories all around the world including a factory in China, a factory in the Philippines, a factory in Ireland, a factory down in Costa Rica and I did that for several years. We have to draw that line Penang, and then from Penang I came back to the west coast of the United States, where I worked in the Bay Area and I had my first job in sales and marketing at the time.
From there, I went out to England where I helped to run the Europe, Midwest and Africa region for Intel, and I've been doing that for the last several years and now I'm back here on the west coast as the chief information officer.
Well, I don't bring a strong technology background to this job. I do bring a strong geographic focus, and lots of experience with Intel strategies and Intel product divisions and I surround myself with really smart technologists to keep me from making those fatal mistakes as CIO.
