After graduating from the Young Leaders program, he has served in various business units within Texas Instruments, including the Broadband Communications Group and the Wireless Business Group before becoming the Vice President and Worldwide General Manager of the Open Multimedia Applications Platform (OMAP) Business Unit.

Notable achievements at Texas Instruments 2009: Pioneered the first OMAP application processor for the Android platform and spearheaded the development of the OMAP 4 platform. The OMAP architecture powered many of the first notable Android smartphone devices such as the Motorola Droid line of phones and Galaxy Nexus smartphone co developed with Google and Samsung. 2012: Created a partnership with iRobot to develop robotic technologies using TI's OMAP architecture. 2012: Spearheaded a deal with global audio and infotainment group Harman to incorporate TI's OMAP 5 processors into premium automotive platforms.

Movidius In early 2013, El-Ouazzane accepted the position of chief executive officer of Movidius. After having repositioned the company in the fields of embedded machine vision and artificial intelligence, he has led the company's technology into products from companies like Google, Lenovo and DJI, as well as raising over $40 million in funding to accelerate adoption of Movidius technology.

Notable Achievements at Movidius 2013: Built partnership with Google's Project Tango group. 2014: Launched the Myriad 2 Vision Processing Unit (VPU). 2015: Raised $40 million in funding to accelerate adoption of Movidius technology. 2016: Closed deals with major technology companies including Google, DJI, FLIR Systems, and Lenovo, bringing Movidius technology to mainstream consumer devices.

Intel In November 2016, El-Ouazzane joined the New Technology Group at Intel following the acquisition of Movidius, assuming the role of Vice President. In this role, El-Ouazzane was responsible for continuing the engineering development, integration and commercial deployment of Movidius technologies. In August 2018, El-Ouazzane assumed the role of vice president and chief operating officer of Intel's Artificial Intelligence Products Group (AIPG) where he is responsible for overseeing all engineering efforts in the group, including product management activities. In January 2020, El-Ouazzane took over the role of Chief Strategy Officer for Intel's Data Platforms Group.

STMicroelectronics In January 2022, El-Ouazzane left Intel to join STMicroelectronics as president, Microcontrollers and Digital ICs Group. He is a member of ST's executive committee.

Awards In 2009, El-Ouazzane was selected as the recipient of the French-American Foundation's Young Leaders Award.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Remi El-Ouazzane

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Remi El-Ouazzane claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Remi El-Ouazzane before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Remi El-Ouazzane ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Remi El-Ouazzane

In research: Remi El-Ouazzane appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Remi El-Ouazzane in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Remi El-Ouazzane is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1973 births, Businesspeople from Neuilly-sur-Seine, French emigrants to the United States, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Remi El-Ouazzane outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
