A pair of Intel execs are following the company's head of mobile out the door. All three are headed for the doors without a hand at their backs.
Doug Davis, head of Intel's Internet of Things Group, and Kirk Skaugen, who headed up the company's Client Computing Group, are both leaving. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich and Venkata "Murthy" Renduchintala, president of Davis' and Skaugen's groups, announced the two execs' departures in a joint statement on April 4.
"Each of them have been instrumental to Intel's success and our executive leadership team over the past years," the statement reads. "They will be greatly missed, but we are excited for the good things ahead for each of them."
Davis is headed for retirement, but he'll stick around long enough to help his replacement ease into the role. Though he plans to stay until "an orderly transition is complete," he's looking to leave the company before the year comes to a close.
An Intel employee since 1982, Davis has led the company's attempt to seed Intel processors in the products and sensors that have been the bricks of the Internet of Things.
Skaugen is preparing to take on another job and will leave Intel on April 8. He has been with the company since 1992 and has served in leadership roles in Intel's Data Center and Connected Systems Group, PC Client Group and Client Computing Group.
News of Skaugen and Davis' departures come just a few days after a Bloomberg report revealed that Aicha Evans, head of Intel's Mobile Phones Group, is planning on leaving the company.
Evans' departure hasn't been confirmed by Intel. The Bloomberg report cites sources familiar with the matter.
Though Evans has been with the company for more than a decade, she hasn't been in charge of the mobile phones unit for more than a year yet.
As both a woman and a minority, Evans' departure hurts a workforce diversity initiative Krzanich announced back in January 2015. As a black woman, Evans was part of a minority population that made up just 3.5 percent of Intel's workforce.
