Major shoes to fill?
Gelsinger's done a tremendous job of right-shipping Intel back onto its successful tech-oriented route (away from financial services) and the stock market responded in kind with near doubling of stock price since last December (from $27 then, to $47 now). I expect this success to continue, but also, at some point, Pat may want to ease-up a bit and leave the reins of the chip shop to some equally qualified and charismatic leader, if only to not have to do push-ups live on stage at every keynote! Could Lisa Spelman be the one to fill his shoes in this role?
