The lecture is part of the Reiten Lecture Series and the university’s Faith and Leadership Series. Attendees can reserve a general admission seat by visiting this link. 

Gelsinger will explore the ethical responsibilities of tech leaders in an AI-driven world, the intersection of faith and work, and how we can equip the next generation to lead with integrity in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

With a career spanning more than four decades in the technology industry, Gelsinger has been a driving force behind innovations that shaped modern computing – from the development of Wi-Fi and USB to leading the creation of Intel® Core™ and Xeon® processors. As a leader in cloud infrastructure, enterprise mobility, and cybersecurity, he has championed the role of technology in shaping the future.

Gelsinger’s career began at Intel in 1979, where he became the company’s first chief technology officer and served as senior vice president and general manager of the Digital Enterprise Group. He played a pivotal role in shaping innovations that cemented Intel’s position as a global leader in microprocessors. 

Gelsinger dedicated 30 years to Intel before stepping away to become CEO of VMware, where he led the company’s transformation into a global powerhouse in cloud infrastructure, enterprise mobility, and cybersecurity – nearly tripling its annual revenue. In 2019, his visionary leadership and dedication to a positive workplace culture earned him the title of America’s top CEO in Glassdoor’s annual employee survey. In 2021, he returned to Intel as CEO, taking the helm to guide the company into its next era of innovation and growth.

This free lecture is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most influential minds in technology and leadership. Gelsinger last spoke at George Fox in 2019.
