New Details on HP Upheaval as CEO Looks Ahead

Former Hewlett Packard Co HPQ contractor Jodie Fisher alleged that she lost work from the company because she did not have sex with ex-CEO Mark Hurd, a source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Tuesday. It was the first time the nature of Fisher's claim has been reported, since HP had previously only said that Hurd was accused of sexual harassment without giving any details. Hurd, 53, stepped down on August 6 after HP accused him of filing inaccurate expense reports involving Fisher, although an investigation ordered by HP's board found no evidence of sexual harassment. Hurd has received job overtures from private equity firms and publicly traded companies almost immediately after his shocking departure from HP, the source told Reuters. Hurd "still loves HP," said the source, who is familiar with his view. But Hurd has been dismayed by how HP handled its public relations and news leaks in the days after he left.
