We're honored to have Craig Barrett of Intel here today as our speaker.

Over 40, for 40 years, Intel has grown from a startup that helped put the word silicon

in Silicon Valley.

To now it's a household name with its products in over half the households in the entire world.

Craig Barrett has been part of Intel for 35 of those 40 years, and I'm proud to say that

Craig started his career here at Stanford, where he got his bachelor's, master's, and

PhDs in material science.

After he graduated, he stayed at Stanford for another 10 years,

and we couldn't get him to leave,

and taught as part of the material science faculty

until 1974 when he joined Intel.

He became an Intel vice president in 1984, until 1974 when he joined Intel.

He became an Intel vice president in 1984, a senior VP in 1987, an executive VP in 1990, elected to the Intel Board of Directors in 1992,

and named the company's chief operating officer in 93, and became its fourth president in its history in 1997 and then CEO in 1998 and chairman of the board in 2005. Just an illustrious career for Stanford

alumni. Craig retired from the board in May 2009 and and with that, I give you Craig Barrett.
