[HailMary]

I did a search on the amd website and came up with this:

It looks like Dirk is on the fast track:

1996 - came on as Director of Engineering for Athlon
1999 - promoted to VP of Engineering for CPG
2001 - promoted to Group VP and General Manager of CPG
2002 - promoted to Senior VP and officer

I don't think he could get promoted again without becoming CEO.
