On December 3rd, according to foreign media reports, Intel announced that its CEO Pat Gelsinger has resigned, which has attracted widespread attention.
According to Reuters, insiders revealed that Kissinger resigned at last week's board meeting. At the meeting, Intel directors believed that Kissinger's turnaround plan was not effective and that the progress of the company's transformation was not fast enough. According to sources, the board told Kissinger that he could choose to retire or be dismissed, and Kissinger chose to resign.
Today is a bittersweet day, as I have spent most of my career at this company (Intel)... "Kissinger said," It has been a challenging year for all of us as we have made difficult but necessary decisions to adapt Intel to the current market dynamics
The Wall Street Journal pointed out that Kissinger's resignation is undoubtedly a major change for Intel. Intel Corporation announced on the same day that it has appointed Chief Financial Officer David Zinsner and Senior Executive Michelle Johnston Holthaus as interim co CEOs, while the board of directors is actively searching for a new CEO.
According to reports, Kissinger's resignation occurred before the completion of his four-year roadmap to restore Intel's leading position in computer chip manufacturing, which had been taken away by other semiconductor manufacturing companies.
In addition, according to informed sources, Intel Communications Director Karen Kahn also plans to resign. This series of personnel changes undoubtedly adds more uncertainty to Intel's future.
