Ann-Marie joined Intel Corporation in 1991 as a new college graduate and since then has gone on to work in all four of the Fab Sort Manufacturing facilities in Ireland – Fab 10, Fab 14, Ireland Fab Operations (IFO) and Fab 24.
Ann-Marie hails from Co. Roscommon and is an Engineering Graduate of Trinity College Dublin. Ann-Marie is married to Paul and has two children, Cian and Ruth. Ann-Marie has worked in Intel all of her career making her the first Irish graduate hire to go on and become Intel Vice President.
Speaking about her new role, Ann-Marie said; “I have had the honour of leading the Fab 24 team for more than 8 years and it has been the greatest privilege to be able to work together with such hard working and dedicated people to create technology that changes the world and shapes the future. I look forward to taking on this new role and embracing the opportunity to work with people across our global manufacturing network as we continue to deliver leading edge technologies”.
