Hector Ruiz, a 20-year Silicon Valley mogul in microchip technology, will speak at the Olympic Village Lodge on April 19.

Ruiz will focus on life, leadership, innovation, and fair competition. Ruiz’s recent book “Slingshot: AMD’s Fight to Free An Industry From the Ruthless Grip of Intel” focuses on the $1.25 billion settlement that Intel paid to AMD regarding Intel’s predatory business practices while elaborating on his humble upbringing as well as advice and lessons learned from his relatives and teachers. Ruiz has also worked for Texas Instruments and Motorola.

Doors at 5:30pm, event starts at 6:30pm.

After the event, Squaw Valley Institute will be offering an all inclusive, three-course dinner with Ruiz at Graham’s. Event tickets are $15. Dinner and event is $75. Go online to purchase tickets.

    Not to rain on any bodies parade, Intel almost certainly laughed writing such a small check compared to how much they made.

    Hey Perry, business is business and the better funded company is always going to win.
