SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- (Business Wire)

Intel Corporation today announced the appointment of Aparna Bawa as EVP, chief legal & people officer. Bawa will report directly to CEO Lip-Bu Tan and will lead Intel’s global legal, ethics, compliance, people, and culture organizations as the company accelerates its transformation and execution agenda.

“The role of legal and people leadership has never been more critical as Intel drives cultural transformation with discipline, speed, and integrity,” said Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan. “Aparna brings a rare combination of operational rigor, business judgment, and people-first leadership. Her experience helping scale global technology companies through periods of significant change will be invaluable as we build a stronger, more agile Intel.”

Bawa joins Intel from Zoom, where she served as chief operating officer, overseeing critical operational, legal, and people functions during a period of rapid growth and global scale. She is widely recognized for her ability to align culture, governance, and execution in high-growth technology environments.

Prior to Zoom, Bawa held senior legal and leadership roles in the technology industry, building deep expertise across corporate governance, global compliance, employment, M&A, and organizational transformation.

In her new role, Bawa will be responsible for strengthening Intel’s legal and compliance foundation, advancing a high-performance culture, and ensuring the company’s people strategy fully supports its long-term business priorities. She will play a central role in shaping Intel’s leadership culture, talent strategy, and governance as the company enters its next phase.

“Intel is an iconic American company at a pivotal moment,” said Bawa. “I’m honored to join Lip-Bu and the leadership team, and excited to help build the culture, systems, and trust that enable teams to do their best work and deliver for customers, partners, and shareholders.”

Bawa’s appointment underscores Intel’s continued focus on strengthening leadership, accountability, and execution as the company advances its transformation under Tan’s leadership. Bawa will join Intel in May.
