Last year Intel CEO, Brian Krzanich, pledged to make Intel’s US workforce fully representative of the population in relation to women and under-represented minorities by 2020. He also pledged to spend more than $300m to diversify the tech industry and to invest $125m in companies run by women and minorities. In the past year, 40 percent of the company’s new hires have been from these two groups. This year, during his keynote at the 2016 International CES, Krzanich said that Intel would set up an alliance against online harassment and he has now appointed Danielle Brown, his chief of staff and technical assistant, as Intel’s newest chief diversity and inclusion officer.
