Indiana Wesleyan University has chosen Pat Gelsinger, a respected information technology veteran and business leader, as the 2021 inductee into the Society of World Changers. Gelsinger will be formally inducted into the IWU Society of World Changers during a special convocation on Nov. 3.
In February 2021, Gelsinger returned to the company where his career began and became the chief executive officer of Intel, a multinational corporation and technology company. During his initial 30 years with Intel, he became the first chief technology officer driving the creation of key industry technologies, including USB and Wi-Fi. As the architect of the original 80486 processor, Gelsinger also played a significant role in steering Intel to dominance in the microprocessor supplier market.
Intel sent shockwaves through the IT world Wednesday as it announced that VMware’s CEO, Pat Gelsinger, will be replacing Bob Swan next month as Intel’s new CEO.
Gelsinger is an industry legend who was critical in creating and building VMware into the virtualization and software powerhouse it is today, having led VMware for the past eight and a half years.
“It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as the CEO of VMware,” said Gelsinger in a statement Wednesday. “We have transformed the global technology landscape for the better, and I am confident that the company will continue to excel as they enable customers with the digital foundation for an unpredictable world.”
