Intel brings ex-HP CEO Dion Weisler into the fold

Intel has announced it has elected former HP CEO Dion Weisler to join its board of directors as an independent director, and a member of the compensation and finance committees.

"We are excited to welcome Dion to the board," Intel Chairman Omar Ishrak said.

"He brings a deep understanding of the Intel customer experience and a wealth of technical industry knowledge spanning client, cloud and network computing.

"Dion also shares Intel's strong commitment to corporate responsibility, having championed diversity and inclusion as well as sustainability while leading HP."

In a statement, Weisler said he looked forward to helping Intel capture new markets.

"Having admired Intel for more than three decades as the company that fueled compute as we know it, I'm honoured and excited to join them as they transform to capitalise on new markets fueled by the incredible growth of data and intelligence," he said.

"Their rich entrepreneurial culture, unique innovation and scale positions Intel to drive a positive global impact for decades to come."

Weisler resigned as CEO of HP in August last year, citing a "family health" matter.

Weisler is also a company director of Anglo-Australian multinational mining conglomerate BHP and US laboratory equipment giant Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
