Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger retired from the chip maker and stepped down from the board, effective Dec. 1, the company announced Monday.

Intel has named two senior leaders, David Zinsner and Michelle Johnston Holthaus, as interim co-chief executive officers while the board begins a search for a new CEO. Zinsner is executive vice president and chief financial officer, and Holthaus has been appointed to CEO of Intel Products.

Frank Yeary, independent chair of the board, will become interim executive chair during the period of transition.

"While we have made significant progress in regaining manufacturing competitiveness and building the capabilities to be a world-class foundry, we know that we have much more work to do at the company and are committed to restoring investor confidence," Yeary said in a statement.

Gelsinger joined Intel as CEO on Feb. 15, 2021, and from the closing price of the Friday prior to that and through this past Friday's close, shares have tumbled about 61%, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

A leadership refresh seems to be resonating well with investors, as shares edged 1.9% higher to $24.54 on Monday.
