Intel's Chief Accounting Officer Resigns; CFO David Zinsner Assumes Expanded Accounting Role
INTC has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $18.965 on elevated volume (2.7× avg).
Summary
Intel's Chief Accounting Officer, Scott Gawel, has resigned to pursue other career opportunities, effective April 24, 2026. Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, David Zinsner, will assume the additional duties of principal accounting officer. This change in a key financial oversight role is significant, particularly following Intel's recent Q1 2026 earnings report which detailed a wider net loss and a substantial goodwill impairment. While the CFO stepping in provides immediate continuity, it places additional responsibilities on Zinsner. Traders will monitor for the appointment of a permanent Chief Accounting Officer and any potential implications for the company's financial reporting and internal controls.
