Intel\u2019s executive vice president of the Data Platforms Group, Navin Shenoy, is to resign his role next month, after over a quarter of a century in the company.<\/p>\n

The move is part of a wider restructure at Intel, which involves the creation of two new business units focused on software and\u00a0high-performance computing<\/a>\u00a0(HPC) and graphics.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThe Software and Advanced Technology Group will be led\u00a0by former\u00a0VMware<\/a>\u00a0SVP & CTO Greg Lavender, while the Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics Group will be led by\u00a0Apple<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0AMD<\/a>\u00a0veteran Raja Koduri.<\/p>\n

Intel also announced that its Data Platform Group will be restructured into two new business units: Datacenter and\u00a0AI<\/a>\u00a0as well as Network and Edge. The new groups are to be headed by Intel\u2019s chief people officer Sandra Rivera and\u00a0Stanford University<\/a>\u00a0professor Nick McKeown, respectively.<\/p>\n

Lavender, Koduri, Rivera, and McKeown will report directly to\u00a0CEO Pat Gelsinger<\/a>, who said that, despite being \u201cimpressed with the depth of talent and incredible innovation throughout the company\u201d, Intel \u201cmust move faster to fulfil our ambitions\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy putting Sandra, Raja, Nick and Greg \u2013 with their decades of\u00a0technology<\/a>\u00a0expertise \u2013 at the forefront of some of our most essential work, we will sharpen our focus and execution, accelerate innovation, and unleash the deep well of talent across the company,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

In an internal company memo, Gelsinger asked Intel employees to join him in \u201cthanking Navin for his service and leadership at Intel over the past 26 years\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish him well as he starts his next chapter,\u201d he added, without further describing the reason behind Shenoy\u2019s departure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shenoy, who ran Intel’s\u00a0PC business until 2017, will formally leave Intel on 6 July, which will also be the day that McKeown will assume his role as SVP and general manager of the new Network and Edge Group. Prior to this, McKeown has served as\u00a0a part-time Intel Senior Fellow, having joined the chipmaker in 2019 following its acquisition of Barefoot Networks, which he co-founded in 2013.<\/p>\n

The mass reorganisation is the first of its kind under the leadership of Gelsinger, who re-joined Intel earlier this year. However, the restructuring shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise, as he said that his decision to return to the chipmaker was partly due to the attraction of leading one of\u00a0the “great turnarounds” in tech<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
