Fiorina exits HP amid board dispute

摘要

Carly florina, the woman who executed the largest merger in high-tech history between Hewlett-Packard and Compaq Computer Corp., ended her sk-year run at the helm of HP in February over disagreements about its future direction with the company's board. Fiorina said in a public statement that she and the board "have differences about how to execute HP's strategy." Patricia Dunn, an HP board member, will take over as chairman, while the company's CFO, Robert Wayman, will act as CEO on an interim basis. The board asked Fiorina to step down, said Dunn in a conference call.
