In a Monday email to employees, CEO Brian Krzanich announced the resignations of Kirk Skaugen, head of the Client Computing Group (CCG) and Internet of Things Group leader Doug Davis.
According to Intel, Skaugen, whose last day is Friday, is moving on to pursue "his next career opportunity," while Davis "would like to devote more of his time to family, friends, and other interests."
Since joining the company in 1992, Skaugen has led the Data Center and Connected Systems Group, PC Client Group, and most recently, the Client Computing Group (CCG).
"We are incredibly appreciative of Kirk's drive, the innovation he's brought to the PC and Data Center, and his customer orientation," Krzanich and Venkata "Murthy" Renduchintala, president of the Client and Internet of Things Businesses and Systems Architecture Group, wrote in the email.
"His strategy of segmentation and innovation in our core businesses has been a strong asset to Intel," they said of Skagen.
Following his abrupt exit, Navin Shenoy, current corporate vice president of CCG and general manager of mobility client platforms, will step in. Shenoy will also join Intel's management committee.
Davis, meanwhile, is ending a 32-year career at the California-based company at the end of 2016; he will continue his role as the Internet of Things chief until a successor is named.

"Doug's deep acumen, strong customer relationships, and leadership in the IoT sector has been instrumental to our growth in this space, and the emergence of Intel as one of the most important end-to-end players in the Internet of Things," Krzanich and Renduchintala wrote.
As the Wall Street Journal notes, Krzanich—who became CEO in 2013—has taken to hiring top talent from outside rather than promoting from within, including Renduchintala, who came from Qualcomm and held a position above Skaugen and Davis. "His arrival at Intel blindsided some top executives, who had previously reported directly to Mr. Krzanich," the Journal says.
