I think he rescued what was salvageable from the Carly Fiorina disaster. Absurd that she could be seen as a successful person. I think if he hadn't cut costs massively there would be no HP. His salary at the time is indefensible, but so are the salaries of most of the S&P 500. Frankly, the board firing Hurd was just dumb American sexual hypocrisy (both Hurd and the board), burnt billions in value and nearly tanked the company because he was banging someone on the company dime. I'll never understand why he didn't just pay his mistress with his own $30M salary. Perceived deniability? It's bizarre. And then Apotheker really trashed HP. Meg W, as much as I disagree with her politics, somehow got HP back to being competitive. HPE has good server and HPC/GPU products, even if the website sucks balls, and competes hard with Dell, IBM etc.
