I joined Intel in June of 2008 after spending several years in High Performance Computing (HPC) and am currently a marketing manager for the Intel Business Exchange (http://sx.intel.com). Some fun facts about me- I played college basketball, took my first trans-Atlantic flight alone when I was five, and have an affinity to promote Sweden, my other home country.
