![]() Head of Sales and Marketing to depart in September AMD has issued an official announcement that Henri Richard, its head of Sales and Marketing, will be leaving the company in September. This seems an odd time for Richard to be leaving, since AMD is planning its premiere product launch of Barcelona, its quad-core server processor, on September 10th. Richard has been significantly involved with Barcelona and logically would have been the executive to oversee its sales strategy to regain ground lost to Intel. However, Barcelona has had significant delays and technical problems and it has cost AMD significant revenue and delayed sales since AMD has been unable to compete with Intel’s quad-core chips. AMD has also had to slash the prices of its dual core chips to attempt to remain competitive. ![]() Some say that Richard’s brash personality and business style during his five year stint did not endear him to many at AMD. But he did take AMD from its status as a company that focused selling to smaller suppliers to one that now sells to the world’s largest companies and competes with Intel, Dell and HP, among others. AMD did not offer any further comment about Richard, and Richard was unavailable for comment. This is the second VP to leave the company as Dave Orton left the company in July and it looks like some rats might be running out of the sinking ship. |

AMD宣布,执行副总裁兼首席市场与销售总监Henri Richard将在9月8日离开公司。
AMD称,2002年从WebGain公司加盟AMD的Henri Richard是自愿辞职的,双方也达成了友好的条款,不过AMD尚未宣布其继任者,销售部门也暂时直接向CEO办公室汇报。
Henri Richard表示:“在PC业工作了20年后,尤其是在AMD度过了最成功的5年后,我决定换一种工作环境。我对自己为AMD做出的贡献感到自豪,尤其是我身后的强大团队。”
就在上个月,AMD执行副总裁、前ATI总裁兼首席执行官Dave Orton也宣布辞职。Orton曾经表示,虽然AMD与ATI成功完成了融合,但CPU和GPU部门经历了痛苦的一年,多个CPU、GPU、芯片组产品延期。
