    Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone: A Conversation with Leslie Culbertson - Grit Talk episode 5
    Dec 30 2019
    In this episode, Lisa talks with Leslie Culbertson about what happens when you get out of your comfort zone and bring your strengths to bear. Or put another way: When the CEO calls, you answer – even when you are being called to something outside your expertise. This is something Leslie knows well. Former Intel CEO Brian Krzanich tapped her to lead the Intel Product Assurance and Security (IPAS) organization in 2018 thanks to her breadth of knowledge, leadership skills, network across the company, and passion for Intel. Though Leslie acknowledges that embracing a challenge like this has taken courage, as well as a strong team, and a commitment to customer obsession. • On her leadership philosophy: I always wanted to be sure that whatever job I had, I mastered the job before I went somewhere else. So it’s been a long career. I think some of my background having rotated across the company gives me a good network and a real understanding of how the company works.• On what it means to be customer obsessed: Listen to your customers, they’re telling you a lot. We need to be listening and we need to understand what things we can do that will make us better partners.Leslie is an executive vice president and general manager of Product Assurance and Security at Intel. She leads the IPAS organization and is responsible for cross company efforts to continuously improve the security of Intel products. Since joining in 1979 as an accounting manager for the Intel Oregon site, she has held leadership positions in numerous business units across the company including security, human resources, finance, and supply chain.

  • Living Your Truth: A Conversation with Debra Goldfarb - Grit Talk episode 4

    Living Your Truth: A Conversation with Debra Goldfarb - Grit Talk episode 4
    Dec 2 2019
    In this episode, Lisa Davis talks with Debra Goldfarb about charting your course and staying true to yourself. "There are people who naturally plot their careers. I was not that person at all,” Debra explains. Growing up in a family of scientists, there was an expectation that Debra would follow. But she had designs on something very different – a career in policy and diplomacy. Armed with a graduate degree in International Relations and Chinese Studies, Debra went to work for the analyst firm, International Data Corporation, building a market intelligence practice in high performance computing. Faced with a sophisticated client base, she was covering topics that were often unfamiliar and clients who would call with complex questions. But she knew that when the going got tough, she could put her phone on “do not disturb” and dig in to figure out the answers they were looking for. “The thing about fearlessness is not that you’re not scared. It’s what you do about it,” she says. It was the beginning of a career in which Debra says she has never once been bored.Later, Debra shares a personal story of grit and how the key moments that define us help create it. “You can’t be outside your value system because when you do, other things break,” she says. Debra is an Intel Fellow and the Chief Analyst in Data Center Market Intelligence for the Data PlatformGroup. Debra started her career as an industry analyst at IDC, launching its HPC practice. Her work as one of the early and influential leaders of HPC helped shape US technology policy and the global HPC ecosystem. Outside of Intel, she is actively involved in diversity and STEM initiatives, and is a devoted mom and avid skier. Connect with her on LinkedIn.
