Andy Grove Mentors

Andy Grove helped Gordon Moore and Bob Noyce start Intel in 1967, becoming the company's third employee. He eventually became CEO of Intel in 1987, and remained so until 1998. Steve Jobs met with Grove during his early tenure at Apple in the late 1970s, and held him as a business mentor and a friend. Steve came to him for advice, including in the last years of his life, as he was struggling with cancer - as Grove himself had survived prostate cancer several years earlier.
