I'm in no position to judge the current CEO, but the Zen credit goes to

- Rory Read, under whom the program started

- Jim Keller who ran the program

- the engineers and managers who put the sweat in

- and, one must never forget, a rotating cast of executives and board members at Intel

Another honorable mention would be Suzanne Plummer
