Wilner is software director in the LAN access division of Intel’s’ architecture group. She is also active in Intel’s Latino Network (ILN), which supports the inclu- sion of Hispanic employees into Intel’s business environment by supporting the firm’s goals, mission, objectives, and values.

Maria Larrinaga Willner, software director, LAN Access Division, Intel
Previously, she also served as director of server platform group (SPG) operations, responsible for assisting with manage- ment of the organization and driv- ing strategic initiatives. In her current position, she is responsible for creating software for Ethernet product lines, which span mobile to high-end server and embedded platforms.
“There are two Intel values evident in the culture which have made me stay with the company,” Wilner said. “Employees are focused on getting the job done and delivering results; we care very little about status, titles and recog- nize people for the contributions they make. It’s not where you come from or where you’ve been, but rather what you deliver.
