These Were Intel’s 6 Most Highly Compensated Executives In 2020 A breakdown of Intel’s top compensated executives from last year. Their collective pay recently received a symbolic vote of disapproval from the chipmaker’s shareholders. By Dylan Martin May 27, 2021, 10:00 AM EDT Two Top Compensated Execs In 2020 Are No Longer At Intel Intel is in the midst of major changes, and one way that has been expressed is the fact that the company’s two most highly compensated executives of 2020 are no longer at the semiconductor giant. Bob Swan, who departed as Intel’s CEO in February, was the company’s top compensated executive last year, according to a proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in late March. In second place was Venkata “Murthy” Renduchintala, who exited in August 2020 as the company’s chief engineering officer following manufacturing problems that resulted in a six-month delay of Intel’s 7-nanometer products.
