Second 30-year vet leaves Intel; historic changes afoot?
- Monday, 14 September 2009 13:39
In a bit of a shocker, word got out late last night about a management shakeup at Intel—CTO and 30-year Intel veteran Pat Gelsinger is out, while Intel mobile chief Dadi Perlmutter and top marketing guy Sean Maloney will both move up to share the number two spot, with Perlmutter taking charge of all of Intel's engineering efforts and Maloney overseeing the business side.
Gelsinger is moving on to be COO of storage maker EMC, and his name is already on the short list for the top slot there. His departure from Intel marks the fourth time he has quit the company—he loves to tell an anecdote about how disappointed his mom was that his repeated re-hirings by Intel kept him from ever completing his PhD at Stanford.
