Intel CEO Bob Swan

  • Intel has a new CEO in the form of Bob Swan, ending a search that started in the wake of former chief exec Brian Krzanich's departure.
  • Swan had been interim CEO since Krzanich left in June 2018, and Intel's CFO before that.
  • Before Intel, Swan had a long career in Silicon Valley and beyond: He was the CFO (and briefly CEO) of notorious dot-com flop Webvan, a venture investor, and other things besides.
