President, Avelent Consulting, Inc.
Author of “Design/Build Your Business – Blueprints for Success”

Since leaving Intel in 2001, Ron Sacchi has been writing, speaking and consulting with a variety of organizations and businesses. After years of postponement, he has recently completed his MBA at St. Mary’s College of California with a focus on Finance and Marketing. Having presented for the American Society for Training and Development, the Society for Human Resource Management and the American Management Association, he devotes considerable time as a business coach and personal mentor for people with dreams and business ideas.

Ron combines 22 pragmatic years of worldwide business experience and consulting in the Silicon Valley with a futurist’s mindset by using research, action learning and dialogue to promote results. With a background steeped in operations management, human resource and management development, Ron was one of the foundational designers of Intel University and Intel’s Management Development program. Prior to leaving Intel, he served as director of an internal business incubator for “intrapreneurs” seeking to start their own businesses.

Ron’s passion is creating “optimized” operations focusing on strategy, processes, people, structure and rewards as a system. One of his most recent publications was a co-authored work for the Institute for Health and Productivity Management titled “Healthy Corporate Cultures.” Using action-learning workshops, a flexible design, and years of experience as an educator, Ron has consistently shown that outcomes in the business are the result of people bringing “real work” to his workshops. Some of his clients include: Applied Materials, The Brookings Institute, Intel Corporation, Institute for Health and Productivity Management, Level One Communications, Pandesic, Shiva, and several government agencies, including the Department of Defense.

Besides working to bring others’ dreams to life, Ron serves as First Vice President for the Northern California Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.
