In 1988, Marcus was named General Manager of Intel's $80M Automotive Division, which developed, manufactured, and sold Micro Controllers to the Automotive Industry. He led the turn-around in profitability by developing new business strategy and focus. He developed efficiency model for Micro Controllers and microcomputer business at Intel, growing the division to $200M. In 1991, he was promoted to Vice President of Semiconductor Products Group and GM of the Embedded Microcomputer Division. With factories located in Asia, Europe, and the US, this division, which designed, manufactured, and sold computer chips primarily used in electric control, was a world-wide operation generating over $600M in sales. By restructuring the business, its strategy, and reorganizing its worldwide realignment, he greatly improved profit and utilization of Intel's assets; he grew the Division from $400M to $800M.
