April 22, 2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

Intel has announced a reorganization of its executive leadership under newly appointed CEO Lip-Bu Tan. Several core divisions—including the Data Center and AI Group and the Client Computing Group—will now report directly to Tan, streamlining the company’s reporting structure. These groups were previously overseen by Michelle Johnston Holthaus, who will continue to serve as head of Intel Products, with her responsibilities expected to expand.
As part of the leadership changes, Sachin Katti has been promoted to Chief Technology and AI Officer. In this new role, Katti will oversee Intel’s AI strategy and product roadmap, manage Intel Labs, and lead the company’s engagement with startups and developer ecosystems. He succeeds Greg Lavender, who is retiring.
In addition, three senior technical leaders—Rob Bruckner, Mike Hurley, and Lisa Pearce—will now report directly to the CEO. This structural adjustment places several engineering roles closer to executive leadership.
According to internal communications, the goal of the reorganization is to simplify operations and improve alignment between engineering and executive teams.
