Former tech CEO Carly Fiorina poised to seek Republican presidential nomination
- greenyoda 12y agoHer career as the CEO of HP wasn't such a great success for the company. However she did pretty well for herself: a $20M severance package after she was forced to resign.[1] "Judgments on Fiorina's tenure at HP are mixed. In 2008, Infoworld grouped her with a list of products and ideas as flops, declaring her to be the 'anti-Steve Jobs' for reversing the goodwill of American engineers and for alienating existing customers. In 2008, Loren Steffy of The New York Times suggested that the EDS acquisition well after Fiorina's tenure was evidence that her actions as CEO were justified. Fiorina has often been ranked as one of the worst CEOs of all time."[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#Hewlett-Packard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#Hewlett-Packard
