positions, including most recently serving as Intel’s chief human
resources officer.
“Our people are our greatest asset and are the fuel by which we extend
our rich history and success of driving technology innovations that
positively impact the world. The culture evolution work that we’re
driving forward is integrally tied to our business transformation. You
can’t have one without the other,” Rivera said.
