Nobody seems to have a favorable opinion of JH. Comes across as extremely arrogant. The people he has hired are less than inspiring.

I take this is a good sign that no one likes him. DCAI has been on a path to irrelevancy under the past decade of pi-s poor leadership and engineering. The people in DCAI today are only the yes men/women who pandered to the prior regime and survived the cuts. Also, the "roadmap" prob hasn't changed much since he started since DCAI engineering can't design their way out of a paper bag... so the next three years are set in stone. The only thing we can count of is PRQ's pushing, performance coming below expectations, die size larger than expected, and terrible yields.
Intel hired GlobalFoundry reject as general manager into TD. This is a nightmare to Intel. The weed invaded the grassland, and destroyed a good group after 2 years.
Stay in your lane
He seems smart enough but hasn't been around long enough to establish himself one way or the other. There's a lot of toxic leadership underneath him though that he needs to get rid of.
JH: everyone needs to be aligning their work to the roadmap!
Employees: ok can we see the roadmap?
JH: no
Easily one of the worst execs. All he does are layoffs ahead of schedule and reorgs (layoffs with more steps). He can't even keep one reorg for more than 2 months. I remember when he left one group out of reorgs because they are so efficient, just to break them up 2 or 3 months later.
Also, I don't recall any execution/quality improvement actions taken by him except new requirements to have 100% test execution before some milestone, which of course, ended up with management removing tests from the test plan, to hit that 100% :clown:
He also hates remote workers, it almost seems like he has some sacred oath to bring everyone to the office. There are like 5% of truly remote workers (not office guys that went 'hybrid'), but that guy makes it seems like remote work is the reason for Intel's downfall.
It was sad watching his meeting when he said DCAI is not showing roadmaps to employees because the last time he showed a roadmap it was leaked to the press (or something like that). Great idea, to hide a roadmap from people who will have to execute it. Truly outstanding move.
I guess HPE folks are celebrating that JH is no longer with them.
JH was likely handpicked by people like Dion Weasel (from the Board),
same person who brought Christoph to Intel .. Look how that went?
If you were that good would you want to work for someone arrogant possibly d-mb and get peanuts comp
