If true, some questions follow naturally. The board may have simply had a disagreement with Meyer over the future direction of the company, as has been the official line all along. EE Times quotes Dean McCarron of Mercury Research as saying, “I really think it’s just reflecting that the board of directors is serious about getting AMD’s position in the market strengthened.” So although these departures are being called resignations, they are functionally firings, more likely than not.Īs far as we know, the indications are that no deep, dark secret or impropriety was behind the departure of Meyers or these other execs. The analysts cited in the EE Times piece don’t have a tremendous amount of insight to share about the reasons behind these latest moves, other than offering a sense that AMD’s board likely forced out these execs much as it did Meyer. In addition to Meyer, we now know that both COO Robert Rivet and SVP of Corporate Strategy Marty Seyer are on the way out, according to EE Times and other reports. Last month’s surprise departure of AMD CEO Dirk Meyer continues to cause ripples among the company’s executive team.
