梅格·惠特曼將辭去在惠普公司董事會的職務(wù)。 作為惠普公司CEO的惠特曼,自2015年秋季開始擔(dān)任惠普董事長,當(dāng)時兩家公司經(jīng)過拆分后,成為獨(dú)立的公司。惠普企業(yè)主要銷售數(shù)據(jù)中心硬件和軟件,而惠普則專營個人電腦和打印機(jī)業(yè)務(wù)。 惠普在上周三宣布,李維斯CEO奇普·伯格將接替惠特曼擔(dān)任惠普公司的董事長。伯格在2015年加入惠普董事會,并在3月份成為首席獨(dú)立董事。 惠普CEO迪安·維斯勒在一份聲明中表示:“梅格在惠普組建的過程中發(fā)揮了重要的作用,并幫助我們度過了剛剛成為一家獨(dú)立公司的初期歲月,她為我們的整個團(tuán)隊(duì)帶來了重要的經(jīng)驗(yàn),保證了領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的連續(xù)性。我將永遠(yuǎn)感謝梅格做出的巨大貢獻(xiàn)。” 這是2017年惠特曼在第二家公司辭去董事會職務(wù)。 她之前辭去了在線調(diào)查公司SurveyMonkey的董事會職務(wù)(2015年9月加入)。網(wǎng)壇巨星塞雷納·威廉姆斯接替惠特曼加入SurveyMonkey的董事會。 上周二,彭博新聞和科技新聞網(wǎng)站Recode均報道稱,面臨困境的叫車服務(wù)公司Uber將惠特曼列入了CEO候選名單。但一名惠普企業(yè)發(fā)言人對媒體表示,目前惠特曼“仍全身心投入到惠普企業(yè)的工作當(dāng)中,并計(jì)劃一直留任到她的工作完成。”(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)) 譯者:劉進(jìn)龍/汪皓 |
Meg Whitman is stepping down from the board of HP Inc. The Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO has been chairman of HP’s board since fall 2015, when the two companies split from each other and became independent companies. Hewlett Packard Enterprise sells data center hardware and software while HP focuses on personal computers and printers. Chip Bergh, CEO of Levi Strauss, is taking over Whitman's HP Inc.’s chairman role, HP Inc. said on Wednesday. Bergh joined HP’s board in 2015, and became its lead independent director in March. “Meg was instrumental in the formation of HP and in helping us to navigate early life as a separate company, bringing essential experience and continuity of leadership to our entire team,” HP CEO Dion Weisler said in a statement. “I will be forever grateful to Meg for her many contributions.” This makes Whitman’s second board departure in 2017. She left the board of online survey firm SurveyMonkey in May after joining in September, 2015. Tennis superstar Serena Williams replaced Whitman on SurveyMonkey's board. On Tuesday, both Bloomberg News and technology news site Recode reported that Whitman was being considered as a possible CEO for the embattled ride-sharing company Uber. An HPE spokesperson told the publications, however, that Whitman is “fully committed to HPE and plans to stay with the company until her work is done.” |
