Tony(and John Hull), <<<Hope Kumar is right.>>>
** No one asked me , but I am pleading with Craig Barrett **
I nominate Ashok Kumar to be the next Intel CFO. He is well qualified. He knows Intel's business as well as anybody at Intel. He can articulate Intel's business better than anyone at Intel. He could further provide better guidance and manage expectations wrt the investment community.
Andy Bryant has been a loyal Intel employee. He should be kicked (I mean promoted) upstairs to CFO Emeritus (or some such) allowing him to keep all the salary and stock options he so richly deserve.
The time is here when we have to make some meaningful changes in top management.
In my opinion, we should always have at the top of the Intel organization someone who has an engineering background who can articulate the technical vision. But we should have as, perhaps, a vice CEO who is more of a salesman-like Carly Fiorini, Lou Gerstner, or Tim Koogle type.
We should, never, however, allow a salesman type talk his/her way into the top spot - as Apple once did with John Skully, or Compaq did with Eckhardt Pfeiffer.
Thanking you in advance for your kind consideration of my proposal.
Best regards,
Mary Cluney |
