HP Announces Organizational Changes

HP HPQ today announced organizational changes that will more closely align its corporate structure with the strategy it announced in March. Ann Livermore has been elected to the HP board. While she will step down from her day-to-day management of the HP Enterprise Business, Livermore will contribute guidance to the organization as a member of the board. Dave Donatelli, executive vice president, Enterprise Servers, Storage, Networking and Technology Services, and Bill Veghte, executive vice president, Software, will now report directly to Léo Apotheker, HP chief executive officer and president, giving their respective units greater visibility and support throughout the entire HP organization. Similarly, Jan Zadak, executive vice president, Global Sales, also will report to Apotheker, facilitating efforts to better leverage the full HP portfolio to deliver integrated solutions for customers and partners.
