Andrew Grove
Andrew Stephen "Andy" Grove (born September 2, 1936 in Budapest ; actually Gróf András István [ ɡroːf ˈɒndraːʃ ˈiʃtvaːn ]; † March 21, 2016 in Los Altos , California ) became known as the co-founder of Intel and was also one of the most influential figures in US business.
Life
Grove was born in 1936 to a Hungarian Jewish merchant family. He survived the Nazi regime because he and his mother were hidden with a Christian family.
Disappointed by the political development of Hungary in the 1950s, he left the country for the USA after the unsuccessful popular uprising at the end of 1956 and changed his name to Andrew S. Grove. In 1958 he married his wife Eva, who had also fled Hungary. The couple had two daughters. In 1962 he received American citizenship. He completed his chemistry studies in the USA in 1960 and received his doctorate in 1963 from the University of California, Berkeley . In 1967, he joined Fairchild Semiconductor as an assistant in research and development. The head of this department at the time was Gordon Moore , who was to accompany him all his life.
Moore and Robert Noyce founded Intel in 1968, and Grove joined them shortly afterwards. Grove at Intel was nicknamed Mr. Clean. In 1998 Grove retired as CEO of Intel, but subsequently took over the management of the board of directors until November 2004. In 1997 he was named “ Man of the Year ” by Time magazine because he owed the amazing progress and innovative potential of microchips . In addition, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1994, and in 1995 he received a Heinz Award .
The IEEE Andrew S. Grove Award is named in his honor.
