Intel appoints semiconductor veterans Eric Meurice and Steve Sanghi to its board after ousting CEO Pat Gelsinger

(Reuters) – Intel on Thursday named two chip industry veterans to its board, as the struggling semiconductor firm looks for a new top boss following the recent ouster of Pat Gelsinger and tries to reclaim its lost glory.

The chipmaker said Eric Meurice, former CEO of chipmaking equipment provider ASML, and Steve Sanghi, interim CEO of Microchip Technology, are the new additions to its board. Both Meurice and Sanghi have previously worked at Intel.
