Hewlett-Packard CEO Fiorina Resigns

[Lanre]

Carly Fiorina, one of corporate America's highest ranking female executives, has stepped down as chairman and chief executive of Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) in a surprise move at the company she tried to transform from a printer business to a broad-based technology giant, the company announced today.

Appearing at the World Economic Forum last month, Fiorina tried to downplay a January 24 report that said HP's board was considering shifting her day-to-day duties to other HP executives. At the time she called the report "speculation" and said her relationship with the board remained excellent.

She's the one that brought Compaq to HP, isn't it?
I wonder who's going to be the lucky one to get her...

Yeah,
She merged them and that was her undoing.
Currently they are still searching for her replacement. Meanwhile the finance director is running the show.

Did she willingly step down or was she pressured to?
