I'm actually surprised anyone is interested in this position.
To outsiders Pat Gelsinger is trying to create a foundry business and it is called Intel Foundry Services (IFS) or Intel Foundry
reality is quite a bit more complex. Ann Kelleher leads the organisation called TD and there is another organisation for packaging and testing. PAt combined all of them and called it Technology and Manufacturing Group (TMGF, I guess F stands for Foundry).
customers are exposed to Intel Foundry but in reality the work is to be done by TD and the other organisations. So when those organizations don't deliver, IFS can do something about it, right? absolutely not. IFS just forwards emails back and forth.
IFS faces the customer, but in reality they have less power than a postbox or email server.
Customer requests have to be routed to the TD etc. and if TD doesn't deliver, IFS faces the music. And it has faced a lot of music.
In theory IFS's job is customer satisfaction, in reality they have 0 power and their real job is to protect the other organisations where real power lies
if Pat Gelsinger is serious about Intel Foundry business, then Kevin O'Buckley will have Ann Kelleher and the other people whose organisations are responsible for delivering the goods and services to the customer reporting into him. I don't see this has happened. Kevin is a lowly (in Intel Corporation nowadays that's how things are) SVP and Ann and others are EVPs.
Else Pat should just drop the pretense of this Intel Foundry Services organization and make Ann Kelleher the boss directly responsible for facing the music from customers and investors - the present arrangement is unnatural and even unamerican.
Otherwise this is just a rearrangement of deck chairs, designed to shield and shirk any responsibility. As an Intel Corporation shareholder I hope somebody puts the feet of Pat Gelsinger and David Zinsner to fire in the next quarterly over this absurdity and others
It discussed the leadership chain of command and who is really responsible
What did it say? the link doesn't work anymore.
