Brian Matthew Krzanich (born May 9, 1960)[2] is the Chief Executive Officer of Intel. He was elected CEO on May 2, 2013, concluding a six-month executive search after incumbent CEO Paul Otellini announced his resignation in November 2012. Krzanich assumed the role of CEO on May 16, 2013 at the company's annual general meeting.[3] Before becoming CEO, he was Intel's Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

Krzanich earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from San Jose State University and holds a patent for semiconductor processing. He joined Intel in 1982 in New Mexico as an engineer. He was promoted to COO in January 2012.[4][5] He often visits Intel-sponsored hackathons and Best Buys with his wife and two daughters.[6][7] Krzanich is of Croatian descent.

Controversies

On June 1, 2016, Krzanich cancelled a fundraiser at his home in Atherton, California[8] for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump after the New York Times asked Intel that day for details about the event, originally scheduled for June 2, 2016.[9][10] A spokeswoman for the Trump campaign said the event was cancelled due to a scheduling conflict,[10] and Trump held a rally in San Jose on June 2.[11] The fundraiser was widely seen as incongruous with Intel’s support for immigration reform and US$300 million effort to attract women and minorities, as well as detrimental to the company’s interests in China, the biggest market for the semiconductor industry.[12][13]

On August 14, 2017, Krzanich announced he was stepping down as a member of Trump's American Manufacturing Council.[14]
