AMD (AMD) has hired Ariel Kelman as its new senior vice president and chief marketing officer, a position he most recently held at Salesforce for the past three years.
Before that, Kelman served as chief marketing officer at Oracle (ORCL) and head of worldwide marketing at Amazon Web Services (AMZN).
“As AMD continues to expand our portfolio and deliver industry-leading high-performance and AI solutions across data center, embedded, client and gaming, Ariel’s leadership will be instrumental in sharpening our storytelling, advancing our marketing organization and accelerating our momentum,” said AMD Chief Administrative Officer Ruth Cotter.
Kelman plans to help AMD advance its position in the data center market.
“I’m looking forward to working with the team to elevate the AMD brand, deepen engagement with customers and partners and capture the massive AI data center opportunity enabled by AMD’s uniquely differentiated products,” he said.
Kelman will be replacing John Taylor, who worked at AMD for 19 years and served as CMO for eight years. He retired from the company last year.
