Intel on Thursday announced the appointment of two new directors with significant semiconductor manufacturing experience as the company ramps up the search process for ousted CEO Pat Gelsinger's replacement.
Former ASML CEO Eric Meurice and Microchip Technology interim CEO Steve Sanghi will join Intel's board effective immediately, the company said.
Intel declined to comment on what committees the two new directors would join and the nature of the search process.
Intel's search for new directors predated Gelsinger's firing, according to people familiar with the matter.
Sanghi rejoined Microchip as interim CEO in November, after serving as CEO from 1991 to 2016.
