Annie Shea Weckesser — CEO
I am a seasoned executive with ~20 years experience driving transformative marketing, communications, and GTM for global tech organizations navigating rapid scaling, IPO, and public markets. Proven track record in building and elevating corporate reputations, defining and increasing brand value, executing market-moving campaigns for early-stage startups through IPO and large enterprise in B2B and B2C in technology and AI. I have a passion for building exceptional teams and scalable strategies that deliver dominant brand presence, accelerated market position, and long-term shareholder value in dynamic public and private environments. Currently, I am Chief Marketing & Communications Officer at Intel, where I'm focused on articulating the significant progress and momentum the company is making during a transformational period and unifying how the company tells its story to customers, employees, investors, and policymakers while ensuring Intel's brand reflects the company's innovation, discipline, and customer-obsessed culture. Our team is responsible for driving Intel's comprehensive marketing and communications strategy across all business segments. I oversee global brand positioning, corporate, technology and employee communications, digital marketing, and events, all in support of Intel’s transformation strategy. Previously, CMO at SambaNova, a Fast Company Innovator and Fortune Future 50 company, responsible for positioning this enterprise AI leader and driving its market impact through innovation and teamwork. I also served as the CMO at Uniphore where I helped scale the company to become a $2.5b market leader. Prior to that, I’ve held leadership roles at NIO and Cisco, where I led critical brand transformations and high-impact campaigns during periods of significant transformation. Throughout my career, I have benefited from great mentors, advisors and professional groups and continue to be active in these areas. I currently serve as an advisor to Uniphore, participate in the CMO Club, mentor University graduates, and previously served as a member of the advisory board for Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business.
