AMD Appoints Former IBM GM to Board of Directors
Henry Chow spent more than 40 years at IBM in various positions, including more than a decade as General Manager of IBM's Greater China Group where he was responsible for overseeing IBM's operations in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Now the 65-year-old former GM will spend time on AMD's Board of Directors, the chip maker announced this week.
"Henry’s experience and insight gained by overseeing a multi-billion dollar technology business in China are invaluable assets to AMD," said Bruce Claflin, executive chairman, AMD Board of Directors. "China is one of the most important technology markets in the world and AMD is committed to furthering our growth in the Greater China region."
AMD's Board of Directors made headlines earlier this year after it ousted Dirk Meyer as the chip maker's CEO, who resigned in a "mutual agreement with the Board" back in January. The search is still on for a permanent replacement, and Chow will be a part of that process.
