My Take
Paul Otellini interests me as the rare CEO who rose entirely through the ranks of the company he eventually led. By the time he ran Intel, he understood it from the inside out, and that institutional depth shaped the chip era most of us lived through without thinking about it. His seat on Google's board signaled the trust the wider industry placed in him. History will note that he was reportedly a major force in convincing Apple to move its Macs to Intel chips, but I prefer to remember him as a steady operator who carried the silicon golden age. His 2017 passing closed a genuinely consequential chapter.
