I worked at HPE, when Whitman was CEO.
The impression I got, was that she's a bit of a wizard when it comes to finance.
For instance, the organization that I was a part of, we lost a pile of money. But despite that, HPE was able to sell the org off to SuSE.
IE, if Whitman wasn't a wizard, the entire venture may have been a 100% loss. But she was able to flip that organization to another buyer.
