Big news this week is that Intel has appointed a new CEO: tech industry leader Pat Gelsinger. Mr Gelsinger replaces Bob Swan, who will remain CEO until February 15.

Gelsinger is a highly respected CEO and industry veteran with more than four decades of technology and leadership experience, including 30 years at Intel where he began his career.

Most recently, Gelsinger served as the CEO of VMware since 2012, where he significantly transformed the company into a recognized global leader in cloud infrastructure, enterprise mobility and cyber security, almost tripling the company’s annual revenues.

Team DUG has a long and valued relationship with Intel, with much of our HPC powered by their technology and innovation. We would like to extend our thanks to Bob Swan for his support throughout his tenure and wish him all the best.

We look forward to continuing our strong relationship with Intel with Pat Gelsinger at the helm.
