In brief: If you're wondering what Pat Gelsinger has been up to since he was ousted from Intel, the former CEO has just become executive chairman and head of technology at another company. He is a leader at Gloo, a Colorado firm that provides various tech to churches and other faith groups. Gelsinger rejoined Intel as CEO in February 2021 after previously spending 30 years at the company. He departed on December 1, 2024, and while Gelsinger said he was taking a surprise retirement, it's believed that he was pushed out by a board that had lost faith in its CEO as the company faced its worst struggles in decades.Lifelong Christian Gelsinger announced his new role at Gloo in a LinkedIn post. "For more than four decades, Linda and I have lived our lives at the intersection of technology and faith," he wrote. "Today, that intersection becomes even more profound as we begin a new chapter a chapter that starts with me taking an expanded role at Gloo."Gloo describes itself as a technology platform connecting the faith ecosystem. Founded in 2013, it offers resources and a centralized suite of AI-powered tools designed for communication, content organization and distribution, and outreach efforts among faith organizations and their members.Gelsinger writes that he has been involved with Gloo for ten years, both as a board member and an investor. He has served on Gloo's board as non-executive chairman since 2018. // Related StoriesLike many companies, Gloo has raised capital to finance its AI push, raising $110 million for this purpose in August 2024. The company has developed chatbots with "safe search" features and answers grounded in the Christian Bible. Gelsinger previously said that Gloo would use DeepSeek's AI models rather than OpenAI's for its AI chatbot service Kallm, as the Chinese firm's products are open source and easier to integrate. He also called the market's reaction to the R1 AI model "wrong."Gelsinger will lead Gloo's product and engineering efforts. One of his first projects will be the creation of one of the world's first vertical industry clouds for the faith ecosystem."Now more than ever, there is great need for faith-based communities to take an active role in ensuring we shape technology as a force for good," Gelsinger wrote. "As we have seen with social media, the impact of technology evolutions is swift, deep and long lasting. AI is an even more powerful yet nascent tool. It is imperative we ensure AI is used to enhance the human experience, not harm it."Earlier this month, Craig Barrett who ran Intel from 1998 to 2005, called for Team Blue's board to be fired and for Gelsinger to be rehired, though he seems very happy at Gloo.
