Kathy Powell

Kathy retired after 35 years at Intel.  For the first 19 years, she worked in engineering in various capacities, and then moved into HR, specifically working in learning and development-related roles. Retirement was short-lived as she quickly discovered that she wasn’t quite ready to embrace retired life. She’s very fortunate to have found a post-retirement dream job that is part-time and extremely flexible, allowing time for travel and enjoying family and friends. She still has close ties with Intel as her daughter works in Finance, and with her work on IRO’s Communications Committee.  She’s learned a lot about the ins and outs of retirement by volunteering to monitor the IRO Mailbox. After working many years with Debbie Watson, both at Intel and on the Communications Committee, she has now joined her as co-chair of this dynamic group.
