2. About Mark Hurd

    Mark V. Hurd is the chairman, chief executive officer, and president of Hewlett-Packard. He replaced Carly Fiorina, who resigned at the decision of HP's board of directors after the difficult merger with Compaq and a struggle with the HP board after reports of disappointing earnings. Hurd succeeded CFO Robert Wayman who had served as interim CEO from February 10, 2005—March 28, 2005. On September 22, 2006, when non-executive chairman Patricia C. Dunn resigned after a criminal indictment, Hurd succeeded her in that capacity.

    Hurd previously spent 25 years at NCR Corporation, culminating in his two-year tenure as chief executive officer and president. His leadership was marked by successful efforts to improve operating efficiency, bolster the position of NCR's product line and build a strong leadership team. In fiscal 2004, NCR generated revenue of $6.0 billion, up 7 percent from a year earlier, and net income rose nearly fivefold to $290 million.

    Hurd was named president of NCR in 2001 and was given additional responsibilities as Chief operating officer in 2002. Prior to that, he spent three years as head of the company's Teradata data-warehousing division. Earlier, he held a variety of general management, operations, and sales and marketing roles. Hurd began his career at NCR as a field salesman in 1980.

    Hurd is a member of the Technology CEO Council, a coalition of chairmen and chief executive officers of IT companies, which develops and advocates public policy positions on technology and trade issues.

    Hurd graduated from Baylor University with a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1979, and was a member of Phi Delta Theta, the Tryon Coterie (Texas Lambda Chapter).

    Hurd is also a director of the News Corporation. date=March 2008
