I made the announcement internally a few weeks ago, and I’m ready now to announce externally that I have opted to retire from Intel as of September 30!
This decision did not come lightly; it came through a lot of lists, spreadsheets, and thoughtful discussions with colleagues, friends, and family. I have “grown up” at Intel over the last 28yrs and honestly, it’s hard for me to envision not walking through those doors or popping into a virtual meeting with some of the world’s smartest and most driven people to solve the latest challenge.
Intel has been such a BIG part of my life, and I have given my blood, sweat, and tears to this company. In return, it has given me a paid, formal education, many development opportunities through various cohorts and peer groups, an amazing career with endless opportunities to learn/grow/develop, the opportunity to work with amazing humans from different countries and cultures (and sometimes visit them in person!), life-long friends, a husband 😊, and so much more.
As I turn the page to this new chapter, I carry with me a treasure trove of memories, experiences, and friendships that have shaped who I am today. The camaraderie, the early-morning/late-night meetings, the triumphant moments after successfully tackling a project, and even the occasional setbacks that taught us resilience – each of these has left an indelible mark on my heart.
With that said, I have decided to take the plunge to take some time off and eventually pursue other interests and opportunities (after I dust off my resume and LinkedIn profile!). I am confident Intel will succeed because we have the right strategy being executed by some of the best and brightest people around the world. I am excited about what the future holds, both for Intel and for myself. While I look forward to enjoying some rest and relaxation, exploring new hobbies, and spending time with family and friends, I will always cherish the moments we've shared and the lessons I've learned there.
As I bid farewell, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the support, inspiration, and friendship over the years. Saying goodbye to my Intel Family is bittersweet. But as the saying goes, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end…"
Cheers to the future!
