Late last year, Intel confirmed that its current CEO and President, Paul Otellini will leave the company this month and now the chipmaker has announced the successor who will assume the new position from May 16.
The Intel board of directors has unanimously elected Brian Krzanich as the next CEO and will become the sixth CEO in Intel’s history. Prior to this, Krzanich held the chief operating officer (COO) position since January 2012.
“After a thorough and deliberate selection process, the board of directors is delighted that Krzanich will lead Intel as we define and invent the next generation of technology that will shape the future of computing,” said Andy Bryant, chairman of Intel.
The board of directors also elected Renée James, 48, to be president of Intel. She will also assume her new role on the same day as Krzanich’s at the annual shareholder’s annual meeting.
