Robin Colwell, a former Trump economic adviser, joins Intel as senior VP of government affairs to strengthen ties with policymakers following the U.S. Treasury's 10% stake.

  • Intel named three executives to key posts Monday, hiring Annie Shea Weckesser from SambaNova as chief marketing and communications officer, appointing Pushkar Ranade interim CTO, and naming James Chew vice president of Intel Government Technologies.
  • Colwell's arrival deepens Intel's Washington ties, with her role central as the company navigates trade barriers and its relationship with the president amid the 'America First' mood.
  • Amid reports Intel is finalizing a deal, Bloomberg and Wired last week reported that Intel may acquire SambaNova for $1.6 billion, with Tan as an early investor and SambaNova chairman.
