- How have you incorporated social media into your own work?
- I helped drive Intel's adoption of social media and now manage the risks of these usage models. I blog both internally and externally, using both text and video, sharing Intel IT's insights and best practices for security, risk management and enablement of new usage models, applications and devices.
- What characteristic is most important to you in an IT hire?
- The ability to learn is most important, and of course, we are always keeping an eye out for great technical talent.
- How do you make sure your most talented workers stay put?
- I don't want my most talented folks to stay put. I want them to grow, and to grow they need to expand their knowledge and skills. They can only do that if they rotate across a variety of roles over time.
