Christoph Schell, Intel's Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, has resigned from his position. Schell, who joined Intel in March 2022, played a pivotal role in leading the company's Sales, Marketing, and Communications Group (SMG). His departure comes amid a series of leadership changes at Intel, including the recent retirement of CEO Pat Gelsinger in December 2024.
During his tenure, Schell was instrumental in reorganizing Intel's global sales team, particularly in managing relationships with major clients like Amazon Web Services, Dell Technologies, and other key accounts. His efforts were part of a broader strategy to revitalize Intel's market position and navigate the competitive semiconductor landscape.
Intel has yet to announce a successor for Schell. The company's leadership is currently undergoing transitions, with David Zinsner and Michelle Johnston Holthaus serving as interim co-CEOs following Gelsinger's departure. These changes reflect Intel's ongoing efforts to adapt to market challenges and drive innovation in the semiconductor industry.
