The Intel Management Team follows its renewal process since Lip-BU assumed command as CEO in March and this week relevant changes have been announced at the executive level and also in the organization chart of main equipment and groups.
How is the Intel Management Team
The most important announcement is the Appointment of Jim Johnson as Senior Vice President and General ManagerResponsible for PC and EDGE ecosystems and with it director of the Intel client computer group, the flagship division in the company’s history. Johnson, until now interim director of the Intel CCG, has been working in the company for 40 years, in the front row of other divisions such as technology and manufacturing and networks and communications.
Johnson will thus become one of the main swords in the Intel management team, since he will have to supervise the launch of ‘Panther Lake’, the next CPU architecture of the company. A very important launch in both direct sales and achieve customers for the Intel 18A and the following 14A manufacturing process. You could definitely determine if Intel continues to manufacture silicon for third parties.
Jim Johnson’s rise will cause the Salida of Michelle Johnston Holthauus After 30 years in the company. So far I held the position of Executive Director of Intel products. The company has announced that it will continue to be a strategic advisor during the next months. A small prize to a simple work in the worst moments of the company, when competitors continue to reduce their market share and the dismissal of a third of the workforce.
Another important change comes from the appointment of Kevok Kechichian as director of the Data Center Group. The Executive arrives from a relevant position in the semiconductor industry, the Executive Vice Presidency of Engineering in ARM Group. Intel has also announced that Naga Chandrasekaran, executive vice president and director of Intel Foundry technology and operations, will expand its functions to include Foundry Services.
In addition to executive changes, Intel has announced the Creation of a central engineering group which will develop a new personalized silicon business for external customers. This new group will be directed by Srinivasan “Srini” Iyengar, who joined Intel from Cadence Design Systems in July.
At first glance, the changes in the Intel management team are aimed at improving the manufacture of chips for third parties under Intel Foundry and the ability to convince large customers of whether viability. It will be key to Intel’s future.
