In the new role, Ryan will be responsible for communications across the Australian and New Zealand Intel subsidiaries and for “driving awareness” of Intel’s Ultrabook devices as well as its 3rd generation Intel Core processor product line-up.

“I’m thrilled to be moving into this role at a time when personal computing is undergoing such a significant transformation,” said Ryan. “This year has seen a number of advancements from Intel including the launch of 3rd Generation Intel Core processors and the continued evolution of the Ultrabook. I’m looking forward to sharing the company’s future direction.”
