Mark Hurd is very talented and HP was stupid to oust him after the scandal surrounding him. Oracle saw a tremendous opportunity and hired him immediately. Larry Ellison's ability to see past public opinion and make tactical long term maneuvers is one of his few admirable qualities.
Without Googling it, Do you even remember what Mark Hurd's scandal was about? I don't...
- guyzero 10y agoSexual harassment, same as almost every scandal involving a powerful man.
- shawn-butler 10y agoI don't think it was so much sexual harassment as it was that he embezzled corporate funds to pay the woman in question. I'm sure the social justice warrior types see it another way though.
- nikdaheratik 10y agoIt doesn't matter what SJWs see, what matters is the potential for a company damaging lawsuit if they did nothing and left him in place. I'm sure media concerns factored in, but not as much as legal costs.
