Silicon Valley can be a tough place to wake up on a Monday morning. Case in point, the big news on the start of this week was a Bloomberg report that Aicha Evans, manager of Intel’s wireless group, had left the company.
I have yet to meet Evans who has been in the industry 20 years according to her official Intel bio which is more fleshed out than her Spartan LinkedIn page. As a black female engineering manager who climbed up to be a corporate executive at Intel, she is clearly a highly capable person. From all reports she has been sitting in the extra-hot seat for the last several months of her career, running Intel’s troubled wireless business.
