Intel’s new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, wants to shake things up. At a recent customer meeting in Las Vegas, he said the company needs to be more agile and work closely with engineers to create new products based on customer feedback.
Tan spent his first weeks on the job meeting with customer groups. He believes the company hasn’t met customer expectations. “Tell us straight up, this is what we want from you this week,” he said. He values honest feedback and wants to empower engineers to drive innovation from within.
