What I look for in interviews
So consultant Ian Cutress, who has a side business on youtube, gets to interview Pat Gelsinger, of 486 fame and effing Intel CEO. After he gave a keynote (Gelsinger, not Cutress, that is).
The strategic views are good and rich, but as those centre closely around the technologies in use today, the ex chip designer feels authentic to me. Specifically in moments around, say, 7:32 when its about Foveros Direct, and 9:01 when advanced packaging is on topic, "nice and simple". Or just when he says, understatement galore, that he is "judge and jury" on this decision of this or that, and how to lower customer's risks at 12:14.
While listening, keeping his features in check, he looks as stressed as any other CEO. Fully professional. But I sense the authenticity of an engineer, which I dig. Just sayin'.
