Brian Krzanich Ascends At Intel!
With a new year comes a plethora of corporate shake-ups. 2012 is no different and Intel, the world’s leading manufacturer of microchips, was one of the big companies to celebrate after the annual Consumer Electronics Show by moving key personnel around. While several well-known members of Intel’s executive staff moved around – like David Perlmutter, whom the Board promoted to Chief Product Officer – there was perhaps no greater beneficiary of the corporate shake-up than Brian Krzanich. Brian Krzanich is now the Chief Operating Officer of Intel!
Brian Krzanich was Intel’s Vice President and General Manager for Manufacturing and Supply when he was tapped to be the new Chief Operating Officer. Krzanich served as General Manager for Marketing and Supply since 2007 and before that, he worked for four years as part of the Assembly Test team, ensuring quality control at Intel was up to the company’s lofty standards. Brian Krzanich first came to the attention of Intel’s executives when he devised a process to manufacture technologies at the .13 micron-process level. This was a breakthrough at the time and helped put him on the radar of those he will now work with as Chief Operating Officer.
Some might say that Brian Krzanich’s rise to COO of Intel was an improbable one and those people would be right! Brian Krzanich graduated from San Jose University in 1982 with a Bachelor’s in Science in Chemistry. Unsure just what he wanted to do, he went to work for Intel after graduation. His story is very much one of rising up the corporate ladder, as his first positions with Intel were in basic manufacturing positions. He served as a process engineer until 1994 when he made the leap from labor to management. That happened when the plant manager in Arizona promoted him to manufacturing manager of the plant in which he was working.
From 1994 until 2007, Brian Krzanich performed various manufacturing jobs for Intel while learning the management skills that would one day make him a logical choice for Chief Operating Officer. In 1997, Krzanich had the chance to lead when he became plant manager of the Fab 17 facility. Brian Krzanich took over at a sensitive time in that plant’s history, as Intel was retooling the plant for semiconductor manufacturing operations, which afforded Krzanich the opportunity to devise new ways of running that facility. By the end of 2007, Brian Krzanich was so well-versed in the manufacturing operations of Intel that some saw his promotion to General Manager of Manufacturing and Supply chain as long overdue. In that position, Krzanich bore the responsibility of coordinating all aspects of all of Intel’s factories around the world.
Brian Krzanich has had a long, slow rise up Intel’s corporate ladder. If his history is any indication, Brian Krzanich will run the operations of Intel with the skill and grace of someone who knows intimately every level of Intel’s operations because he has done almost every job in the company!
