Lisa Su would be a better example IMO. She has remained laser focused on the turn around of AMD and mostly reserved i.e. tends to under promise and over deliver . Pat Gelsinger has been the complete opposite i.e. tends to over promise and under deliver. Intel has poorly executed a quite a few things while Pat has been CEO.

He's been CEO for 3 years, considering the state of decay of Intel in 2021 that's not a lot of time to turn things around. AMD took ~6 years between Bulldozer and Zen 1 and you could even argue that Zen 2 is when it truly became competitive so that's 8 years.
I'm not saying he's the Intel messiah FWIW, just that the jury is probably still out on whether he will deliver or not.
