Hewlett-Packard announced today that chairwoman Patricia Dunn would be replaced by CEO Mark Hurd. The move comes on the heels of a scandal that involved corporate spying, mud flinging and all sorts of other nastiness. The replacement will take place on January 18, 2007.
18, 2007?
@Ryan W.
That should be January 18, 2007.
I believe this was the absolutely right decision for HP to make. Its sad that this whole debacle has left three vacancies on the HP board and created such bad press for the company at a time when it was on a serious rebound. Patricia Dunn, while possibly unknowing, was wrong to outsource the investigation without oversight.
Sorry. January.
