Intel has just published a news release on its website stating that Jim Keller has resigned from the company, effective immediately, due to personal reasons. Jim Keller was hired by Intel two years ago to the role as Senior Vice President of Intel’s Silicon Engineering Group, after a string of successes at Tesla, AMD, Apple, AMD (again), and PA Semiconductor. As far as we understand, Jim’s goal inside Intel was to streamline a lot of the product development process on the silicon side, as well as providing strategic platforms though which future products can be developed and optimized to market. We also believe that Jim Keller has had a hand in looking at Intel’s manufacturing processes, as well as a number of future products.
Intel’s press release today states that Jim Keller is leaving the position on June 11th due to personal reasons. However, he will remain with the company as a consultant for six months in order to assist with the transition.
As a result of Jim’s departure, Intel has realigned some of its working groups internally with a series of promotions.
- Sundari Mitra, the former CEO and founder of Net Speed, will lead a newly created IP Engineering Group.
- Gene Scuteri will head the Xeon and Networking Engineering Group
- Daaman Hejmadi will lead the Client Engineering Group focused on SoC execution
- Navid Shahriari will continue to lead the Manufacturing and Product Engineering Group
This news is breaking. This piece will update frequently over the next hour.
