Advanced Micro Devices Inc.’s former Chief Executive Officer Hector Ruiz has opened a consulting company, aiming to win business by touting his experience in leading strategy and transactions while at the chipmaker.
Ruiz founded Bull Ventures LLC with Bharath Rangarajan, another former AMD executive, in San Francisco, according to the firm’s website. Neither responded to requests for an interview. Ruiz resigned in November 2009 as chairman of Globalfoundries Inc., a chip manufacturer created from the spinoff of factories from AMD through an investment from the government of Abu Dhabi.
