Hi, I'm Stacy Smith. I'm Intel's vice president and chiefinformation officer and I'm going to talk today about how did a non-technologyguy get to this job.
So I'm going to start by drawing a map of the world, and youwill find that one of the ways that I did not get this job was through mydrawing 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 Intelout of the University of Texas. I was what we call a new college graduatecoming out of school there, and I joined Intel in Arizona. In Arizona, I hadseveral jobs. I worked in several of our product divisions and a couple of ourfactories there. From Arizon,a I was asked to go out to Puerto Rico. I'll drawthat down over here. So we'll call that Arizona, we'll call this Texas, andwe'll call this Puerto Rico, and in Puerto Rico I was helping to run a verylarge board and system manufacturing plant that we had in Puerto Rico in themid '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 10,000people running factories all around the world including a factory in China, afactory in the Philippines, a factory in Ireland, a factory down in Costa Ricaand I did that for several years. We have to draw that line Penang, and thenfrom Penang I came back to the west coast of the United States, where I workedin 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 theEurope, Midwest and Africa region for Intel, and I've been doing that for thelast several years and now I'm back here on the west coast as the chiefinformation officer.
Well, I don't bring a strong technology background to thisjob. I do bring a strong geographic focus, and lots of experience with Intelstrategies and Intel product divisions and I surround myself with really smarttechnologists to keep me from making those fatal mistakes as CIO.
