In a surprise announcement earlier today, we learned that Intel's GPU Marketing Chief, Chris Hook, and his partner-in-crime Heather Lenon (Sr. Manager, Digital Marketing, GFX) have departed the company for greener pastures. This move is sure to put some serious pressure on Intel's marketing efforts and the Intel Odyssey campaign. The company is planning to launch the Arctic Sound GPU pretty soon and these roles will have to be filled up fast.

Both Chris Hook and Heather Lenon have a deep history in the graphics department and were previously at RTG (AMD). Chris was behind the spectacularly successful Hawaii GPU launch and Heather is the person responsible for assembling the Red Team (and by virtue of that a major portion of the AMD community that exists today). While we do not know where they are headed to right now, we do know they will be landing at their destination together. Their departure comes just weeks after Jon Carvill left Intel to work at the secretive startup: NUVIA.
