Ed Doe runs strategy for Intel's Network and Edge Group, after helping sell programmable switch startup Barefoot Networks to Intel in 2019.
Worth knowing
Ed has sat on both sides of a semiconductor acquisition, raising from Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Alibaba and Dell Technologies Capital at a hardware startup and then setting product direction inside a chip giant. He knows what it takes to sell networking silicon to hyperscalers and what a strategic acquirer actually looks for.

He joined Barefoot Networks, the programmable switch silicon company, as vice president of products and marketing in 2016 and rose to Chief Business Officer, staying through Intel's acquisition and then leading the Barefoot Division. Twenty years into the industry, he now works from Palo Alto, directing an organization of roughly 450 hardware and software engineers and product managers.
