The government owns a small part of Intel, about 10%.
The job was empty because the person before, Bruce Andrews, left after the elections last November.

Now, Robin will do this important job for Intel.
Intel appointed Robin Colwell, a former Trump economic adviser, as its head of government affairs.
Colwell previously served as deputy assistant to the president and deputy director of the National Economic Council.
The position became vacant after Bruce Andrews, who had worked in the Commerce Department under President Obama, left Intel after the November U.S. elections.
