Intel announced four executive promotions Wednesday, publicly acknowledging a reorganization that took place at the beginning of January. Though Intel's headquarters are in Santa Clara, California, all of the executives mentioned in Wednesday's announcement work at its largest site in Hillsboro. The Oregonian/OregonLive reported early this month that Intel had created a new organization within the company, called Intel Product Assurance and Security, to manage product security. That followed news of a major flaw in computer microprocessors that could allow hackers access to passwords and other secret information stored in computer memory. Intel and other computer companies have begun issuing patches to address those vulnerabilities, known as "Meltdown" and "Spectre." But some fixes slow computer performance, and Intel has warned users to stop installing some patches because they can cause computers to spontaneously reboot. Longtime Intel executive Leslie Culbertson is the new head of Intel's security group. She's worked with Intel since 1979 and was most recently in charge of human resources. Intel transferred a number of managers to her new organization who were not included in Wednesday's announcement. Intel named Matthew Smith the new chief human resources officer and promoted Ann Kelleher to corporate vice president of Intel's Technology Manufacturing Group. And the company promoted Michael Mayberry to chief technology officer. -- Mike Rogoway; twitter: @rogoway; 503-294-7699 Read More Intel promotes four executives, all in Oregon : http://ift.tt/2nv5uol
