reports there are few takers for the CEO position at AMD. The chip designer reportedly approached at least four candidates to succeed ousted CEO Dirk Meyer but none of them was interested in becoming the head of AMD.
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) has approached at least four candidates to succeed ousted Chief Executive Officer Dirk Meyer and been rebuffed, slowing the chipmaker’s effort at a turnaround.
Apple Inc. Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook, Oracle Corp. (ORCL) Co-President Mark Hurd, EMC Corp. Chief Operating Officer Pat Gelsinger and Carlyle Group Managing Director Greg Summe spurned approaches by Sunnyvale, California-based AMD, according to people familiar with the search, who asked not to be named because the talks are private.
