The announcement was made by Intel Executive Vice President, Naga Chandrasekaran, on LinkedIn, and shared by the Intel Foundry handle on X. In the post, Naga announced that Shawn Han has joined Intel & will serve in a leadership position as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Foundry Services.
Shawn begins his role from May this year, and the important part is that Shawn Han was previously at Samsung Foundry. He has three years of expertise within the Semiconductor industry and is known for overseeing sales at Samsung Foundry.

This gives us a hint at what role Shawn Han will have at Intel Foundry. Given that Intel has been working really hard to secure brand new deals, and has been in overdrive mode to market & showcase its latest advanced packaging technologies, we are likely to see leaders like Shawn at Intel to get new customers in the play for Intel Foundry.
Additionally, Shawn has also worked on multiple logic process nodes, beginning all the way back in 1996. So, quite an impressive portfolio for Shawn right there. So this looks like a big win for Intel to not only get an expert from its competing Foundry, but also to double down on its Foundry business as they continue to execute on process technology, advanced packaging, and overall foundry capabilities.
