Intel-CEO Brian Krzanich tritt überraschend zurück
Wie Intel heute in einer offiziellen Pressemitteilung verkündigt hat, tritt CEO Brian Krzanich von seinem Posten als CEO und Mitglied des Verwaltungsrats bei Intel mit sofortiger Wirkung zurück. Grund soll eine Beziehung mit einer Angestellten sein, die zwar einvernehmlich gewesen sei, jedoch gegen den Verhaltenscodex der Firma verstoßen habe:
Intel was recently informed that Mr. Krzanich had a past consensual relationship with an Intel employee. An ongoing investigation by internal and external counsel has confirmed a violation of Intel’s non-fraternization policy, which applies to all managers. Given the expectation that all employees will respect Intel’s values and adhere to the company’s code of conduct, the board has accepted Mr. Krzanich’s resignation.
Der bisherige Finanzchef Robert “Bob” Swan übernimmt den Posten übergangsweise:
As interim CEO, Swan will manage operations in close collaboration with Intel’s senior leadership team. Swan has been Intel’s CFO since October 2016 and leads the global finance, IT and corporate strategy organizations. He previously spent nine years as CFO of eBay Inc. Earlier, he was CFO of Electronic Data Systems Corp. and TRW Inc. He has also served as CEO of Webvan Group Inc.
Abgesehen davon kündigt Intel in der selben Pressemitteilung ein weiteres Rekordergebnis an:
Intel expects to deliver a record second quarter, with revenues of approximately $16.9 billion and non-GAAP EPS of approximately $0.99. With accelerating data-centric revenue, the company is off to an excellent start in the first half of the year and expects 2018 to be another record year. Intel will provide full second-quarter results and an updated outlook for the full year on the second-quarter earnings call on July 26.
