Intel Corporation announced that Executive Vice President Michelle Johnston Holthaus will lead the company's Client Computing Group. A 25-year Intel veteran, Holthaus brings a deep understanding of Intel's customers and the client computing business based on her current role as EVP and general manager of the Sales, Marketing and Communications Group, a role she has held since 2017, and her previous experience as the head of global client computing sales. Earlier roles in Holthaus' tenure include leadership of the Microsoft global account team; management of channel products; central marketing and operations for the PC client group; and management of the reseller product group.

Holthaus joined Intel in 1996. In her new role, Holthaus will be responsible for all aspects of running and growing the client business, including strategy, financial performance and product development for the full portfolio of client technologies and platforms designed to enable exceptional personal computing experiences. Holthaus replaces EVP Gregory Bryant, who will leave the company at the end of January 2022 for a new opportunity.

Holthaus will transition to her new role over the coming months as a search for the new leader of Intel's sales, marketing and communications organization is underway.
