Managing Director RTG is leaving for personal reasons

Managing Director RTG is leaving for personal reasons

It's been turmoil for the AMD RTG (Radeon Technologies Group) this year. There has been a massive outflow of staff, new ones coming in and now Mike Rayfield, the general manager and senior vice president of AMD's Radeon Technologies Group announced that he will retire at the year's end as well. 

Together with David Wang, who was added earlier this year, Mike Rayfield has been responsible for the anything Radeon after Raja Koduri left the company and moved to Intel. Interim Wang will fill the position for now until he can be replaced.

AMD shared the following statement:

Mike is retiring at the end of the year. He has made the decision to spend more time with his family and pursue his personal passions. David Wang will be interim lead for Radeon Technologies Group while we finalize search for a new business leader. 

From the looks of things, he is retiring and not moving towards Intel. Rayfield had a good career with 30 years of experience in the industry working for names like Micron, but also Nvidia where he lead the team that developed Nvidia's Tegra. Let's hope this was the last name to move away from AMD, the Radeon team needs a stable and steady environment.

His personal passion is to work at intel.

Mike was simply mesmerized by this t-shirt:

Mike Rayfield was an obstruction and hurt morale.
he kept pitching dumb-ass ideas (i.e. too expensive for too little performance) and was a monster to work for. he'd deliberately "forget" people's names and refer to them with unflattering nicknames while pissing on their ideas. he also didn't mix well with other high level executives.
good riddance.

Typical "cutting people down to size" some think keeps the order but just is counterproductive

@tunejunky - do tell more... seems every company with potential has its own hive of miscreant sucking the soul out of it and its employees...


it's just yet another dog refusing to learn new tricks.
i can't tell you how much time i spend just to keep current with my field... and then you have this kind of weirdly complacent A-hole...who thinks he knows best, even though it's been proven otherwise (by the market, not me) and keeps on farting dust (metaphor) in the face of less senior engineers with ideas (some good, bad, indifferent, but they're ideas) and worst of all gets off on a bit of humiliation.
