AMD has appointed Alberto Bozzo as corporate vice president and general manager of Europe, Middle East and Africa (Emea).

Bozzo will have responsibility for all sales and marketing operations within Emea. He starts his new role in January 2009.

Bozzo brings more than 20 years of experience with HP, where he was most recently the vice president of HP’s multi-billion dollar go-to-market consumer business unit in Emea. 
 
“We are pleased to add another seasoned professional to AMD who brings a strong combination of sales, marketing and organizational management experience,” said Emilio Ghilardi, AMD senior vice president and chief sales officer.

“Alberto’s successful consumer and commercial computing record makes him the right person to help AMD execute on its aggressive plans in the strategic Emea region.”
