Intel Corporation today announced the appointment of Dean Jarnac as executive vice president and chief sales officer. Jarnac will lead Intel's global sales organization, strengthening customer relationships and go-to-market execution across its product portfolio, including client, data center, AI, networking, and ASICs.

"Customer focus and execution are central to Intel's strategy and future success," said Lip-Bu Tan, Intel CEO. "Dean is a proven leader with deep industry relationships and a strong track record of building high-performance sales organizations." Jarnac joins from Marvell, where he served as chief sales officer, and previously held senior sales leadership roles at Broadcom and AMD, bringing more than 30 years of experience.

"Intel's technology, talent, and customer relationships position the company for an exciting future," said Jarnac. He will report directly to CEO Lip-Bu Tan and join Intel in September. As part of this transition, Greg Ernst will be leaving Intel after 27 years with the company. Intel thanked Greg for his contributions over nearly three decades of service.
