How Cork native Margaret Burgraff rose through the ranks to become Intel vice-president

BIG data. The internet of things. The cloud. These buzz words are abstract concepts to most of us but they power the turbo-charged technological world we now live in, with almost every electronic transaction we carry out resulting in a data record being created and stored somewhere.
Technology giant Intel is one of the companies at the forefront of the move towards a device-centred society and driving this part of its operations is Cork woman Margaret Burgraff. She is visiting the city this week in her role as chair of the Industry Advisory Board at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics, a joint initiative between UCC, UCD, NUIG, and DCU, which was established in 2013 by Science Foundation Ireland.
