Otellini’s decision to retire will bring to a close a remarkable career of nearly 40 years of continuous service to the company and its stockholders. “Paul Otellini has been a very strong leader, only the fifth CEO in the company’s great 45-year history, and one who has managed the company through challenging times and market transitions,” said Andy Bryant, Chairman of the board. The board of directors will conduct the process to choose Otellini’s successor and will consider internal and external candidates for the job. |
