On HP hiring Leo Apotheker as its new CEO, and the Ray Lane Manoeuvre

On HP hiring Leo Apotheker as its new CEO, and the Ray Lane Manoeuvre

By James Governor on October 7, 2010

I am certainly not the first to comment on HP’s decision to hire Leo Apotheker as its new CEO, and nor will I be the last (our other coverage here) So what perspective can I bring that others might have missed? If nothing else I have met the guy, and I like him – he […]

HP and the Magnificent Madness of Big Company Shuffles

HP and the Magnificent Madness of Big Company Shuffles

By Bob Warfield on October 1, 2010

Ah, the Big Company Shuffle.  Just when an industry gets to be too boring, one of the waltzing elephants stumbles.  Will it fall?  Did it break a leg?  Or will it just shake it off and keep going?

HP Hires Apotheker as CEO, not sure what else to say about that.

By Michael Fauscette on October 1, 2010

My mom always said, "if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all." I spent the last day and a half debating whether to write about this story at all. I mean Wall Street said plenty as the…

SAHP?  Stranger things have happened

SAHP? Stranger things have happened

By Phil Fersht on September 30, 2010

With Leo Apotheker taking the helm at HP, all sorts of questions arise as to why they hired a software guy, who wasn’t exactly a wild success when he was top dog at SAP. Leo is the man you’d want if you are planning to acquire SAP. He knows the compa…

HP Joins the Enterprise Software Market: Léo Apotheker Becomes CEO

HP Joins the Enterprise Software Market: Léo Apotheker Becomes CEO

By Josh Greenbaum on September 30, 2010

It looks like HP really wants to be a player in the enterprise software market after all,  and avoid the fate of Sun and others before it. The appointment of Léo Apotheker to the top spot fills a desperate void in HP’s strategy that may really signal the turn-around of a once great company into […]

CEO Musical Chairs

CEO Musical Chairs

By Zoli Erdos on September 30, 2010

<quick rant, not qualified analysis, don’t read much into it> So Leo Apotheker got HP.  Or did HP get Leo?  Either way, the former SAP CEO has just been named as the future savior of  HP.  Great pick.  HP’s troops have never been more demoralized, and Leo has a lot of experience with demoralized troops.  […]
