Intel CEO Forced Out by Board Frustrated With Slow Progress
Published On Dec 2, 2024, 1:43 PM
Intel's board has forced out CEO Pat Gelsinger due to frustration with the company's slow recovery and lack of competitive products, particularly against rivals like Nvidia. His departure has resulted in a significant short-term boost in Intel's stock price. The board will now look for a replacement while interim leadership is provided by CFO David Zinsner and Executive VP Michelle Johnston Holthaus. The ongoing challenges include increasing competition in the AI sector and poor previous decisions by his predecessors, leaving the incoming CEO with a daunting task.
