When scaling a global tech giant like Intel, talent isn't just important—it's mission critical.

Cindi Harper, VP of Human Resources, Talent Planning, and Acquisition at Intel, learned this firsthand when a plant manager gave her a career-defining wake-up call: Without the right people in place, he warned her… the entire operation grinds to a halt.

In this episode, Cindi shares how she went from hesitant college grad to global talent leader in one of the world’s most competitive and rapidly changing industries.

She also shares:

  • How writing “future letters” helps Intel’s leaders align behind a common vision
  • How she forecasts short-term and long-term hiring needs
  • Her approach to balancing business outcomes with organizational health
