Career

After graduating from college, Bryant began working at Intel in 1985.[2] In her final role at Intel, she led the data center group.

In May 2017, she left her role at Intel in what was described as a temporary departure. However, on November 30, 2017, Google announced that Bryant would be joining Google Cloud as chief operating officer, and Intel announced her retirement effective December 1, 2017.[5] In July 2018, Google announced that she had left the company.[6]

Bryant is a member of the board of United Technologies.[7]
