===Leadership and corporate structure===
[[File:Otellini Barrett Maloney.jpg|thumb|Paul Otellini, Craig Barrett and [[Sean Maloney (technology)|Sean Maloney]] in 2006]]
[[Robert Noyce]] was Intel's CEO at its founding in 1968, followed by co-founder [[Gordon Moore]] in 1975. [[Andy Grove]] became the company's president in 1979 and added the CEO title in 1987 when Moore became chairman. In 1998, Grove succeeded Moore as chairman, and [[Craig Barrett (Intel President)|Craig Barrett]], already company president, took over. On May 18, 2005, Barrett handed the reins of the company over to [[Paul Otellini]], who had been the company president and COO and who was responsible for Intel's design win in the original [[IBM PC]]. The board of directors elected Otellini as president and CEO, and Barrett replaced Grove as [[Board of directors|Chairman of the Board]]. Grove stepped down as chairman but is retained as a special adviser. In May 2009, Barrett stepped down as chairman of the board and was succeeded by Jane Shaw. In May 2012, Intel vice chairman Andy Bryant, who had held the posts of CFO (1994) and Chief Administrative Officer (2007) at Intel, succeeded Shaw as executive chairman.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://newsroom.intel.com/community/intel_newsroom/blog/2012/01/20/intel-announces-management-changes|title=Intel Announces Management Changes|publisher=Intel|date=January 20, 2012|access-date=December 25, 2012|archive-date=January 25, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130125031245/http://newsroom.intel.com/community/intel_newsroom/blog/2012/01/20/intel-announces-management-changes|url-status=live}}</ref>

In November 2012, president and CEO Paul Otellini announced that he would step down in May 2013 at the age of 62, three years before the company's mandatory retirement age.

===Supply chain===
Intel has been addressing supply base reduction as an issue since the mid-1980's, adopting an "n + 1" [[rule of thumb]], whereby the maximum number of suppliers required to maintain production levels for each component is determined, and no more than one additional supplier is engaged with for each component.<ref>Morgan, James P.

=== Intel Israel ===
Intel has been operating in the State of [[Israel]] since [[Dov Frohman]] founded the Israeli branch of the company in 1974 in a small office in [[Haifa]].
