Career

Barrett served as the president of Intel starting in 1997 and its chief executive officer from 1998 to 2005. He successfully led the corporation through some of its worst times, including the burst of the dot-com bubble and a severe recession.

He was appointed as a member of the Hong Kong Chief Executive's Council of International Advisers in the years of 1998–2005.[1] He joined the board of trustees of the Society for Science & the Public in 2010. In 2010, he also became the co-chair of the Skolkovo innovation center in Russia.[2]

Education

Barrett was NATO Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Physical Laboratory in the United Kingdom from 1964 to 1965. He was also a Fulbright Fellow to the Technical University of Denmark in 1972, working with Professor Rodney Cotterill.

Seemingly as a testament to his career in higher education, Barrett and his wife Barbara gave a $10 million endowment to Arizona State University in 2000, resulting in the institution naming their Honors College after the couple.[3]

He is the author of over forty technical papers dealing with the influence of microstructure on the properties of materials, and wrote a textbook on materials science, The Principles of Engineering Materials, which remains in use today.

On January 31, 2006, Barrett and his wife were awarded the Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

On June 3, 2008, he received the title of Doctor of the Novosibirsk University during a ceremony in Akademgorodok, for the cooperation between Intel and the university. With this title he received a golden badge of the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (the Sigma letter).

Om June 28th, 2009, he was announced the Laureate of 2009 Global Award of the President of the Republic of Armenia for Outstanding Contribution to Humanity through IT.
