Intel Corporation announced that David Zinsner has been appointed as EVP and CFO, effective Jan. 17, 2022.

He has more than 20 years of financial and operational experience in semiconductors and manufacturing, including most recently as EVP and CFO at Micron Technology, Inc.

“Dave is a proven finance leader, who brings a unique combination of strategic thought, deep knowledge of semiconductors and manufacturing, capital allocation discipline, and a track record of value creation for shareholders,” said Pat Gelsinger, CEO. “I look forward to partnering with Dave as we continue to execute our strategy to usher in a new era of innovation and achieve our goal of unquestioned leadership in every category in which we compete.”

Zinsner will report to Gelsinger and oversee Intel’s global finance organization, including finance, accounting and reporting, tax, treasury, internal audit, and investor relations.

“I am excited to join Intel, a company I’ve long admired with a storied history of innovation and technology leadership,” said Zinsner. “Intel’s scale, re-invigorated culture and depth of technical talent positions the company to capitalize on the unprecedented demand for semiconductors across the globe. I look forward to working with Pat and the rest of the leadership team to help drive the IDM 2.0 strategy forward and create long-term value for shareholders.”

Prior to his role at Micron, Zinsner served as president and COO at Affirmed Networks. He also served as SVP of finance and CFO at Analog Devices and SVP and CFO at Intersil Corp.

He holds a master’s degree in business administration, finance and accounting from Vanderbilt University and a bachelor’s degree in industrial management from Carnegie Mellon University.

As previously announced, current CFO George Davis will retire from Intel in May 2022 and will remain with the company in an advisory role until then to ensure a seamless transition.

Gelsinger added: “On behalf of the Intel team, I want to thank George for his outstanding contributions during a pivotal moment of the company’s history. He has been a great leader and colleague, and we are grateful for the integral role he played on our transformation journey. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
