For more than 20 years, Motorola Computer Group has been leading the innovation of intelligent building blocks for standards-based embedded computing. Wendy joins the Motorola talent with an extremely strong background in both business management and the computing and storage industries.

Wendy also served as a member of Intel's corporate management committee responsible for new I/O standards, such as USB, Serial ATA and PCI-Express.

Wendy played a leadership role in the formation of Intel's server business in the mid-90s, where she was director of operations for the Enterprise Server Group, based in Oregon.
