The thesis
Why this org is unusual
Engineering and manufacturing leadership report directly to the CEO rather than being mediated through a COO.
Intel’s structure shows the CTOO and Intel Foundry GM as a peer to the CFO and CHRO, underscoring the company’s turnaround focus on process technology and manufacturing execution. The absence of a COO keeps accountability for execution tightly concentrated at the top.

- No Chief Operating Officer role
- Manufacturing and foundry leadership reports directly to CEO
