AMD (NYSE:AMD) today announced that Chief Sales and Marketing
Officer Henri Richard is leaving the company in September 2007. Mr.
Richard departs AMD of his own accord and on completely amicable
terms.
"Henri's primary goal at AMD has been to construct a world-class
global sales and marketing organization focused on enduring
relationships with major PC and server OEMs around the world. He
delivered on that goal," said AMD Chairman and CEO Hector Ruiz. "AMD
is fully focused on leveraging the momentum we established during the
last five years to achieve even greater levels of success ahead."
The AMD global sales and marketing organization will now report
into the office of the CEO.
"After 20 years in the PC industry - and five of the most
professionally rewarding years here at AMD - I have decided to make a
move to a different business segment," Mr. Richard said. "I am leaving
AMD at a time when the company is in position to break the monopoly
that plagues this industry. I am immensely proud of my contribution to
AMD, and in particular, of the strong team I leave behind."
