In business
Throughout an extraordinary career in business, Carly Fiorina
has successfully blazed new trails, taken risks and defied the
odds. As the former chairman and chief executive officer of
global technology solutions provider Hewlett-Packard, she brought
all of her skills to bear to write a new chapter in the life
of a historic company.
After joining HP in July 1999, Fiorina led the reinvention
of the company many associate with the birth of Silicon Valley,
returning HP to its roots of innovation and inventiveness.
Fiorina successfully led HP's controversial merger with Compaq
Computer Corp., now recognised as the most successful high-tech
merger in history.
After HP's more than six decades of corporate stewardship,
and during a period when corporations make up 51 of the 100
largest economies in the world, Fiorina called for a new era
of leadership, one in which corporate leaders have an opportunity
to redefine the role of the corporation, to use profit engines
to raise the capabilities, extend the hopes, and extinguish
despair of people across the globe.
Prior to joining HP, Fiorina spent nearly 20 years at AT&T
and Lucent Technologies, where she held a number of senior
leadership positions and directed Lucent's initial public
offering and subsequent spin-off from AT&T.
Fiorina has previously served on the boards of Cisco Systems,
Kellogg Company and Merck & Company. She currently serves
on the boards of Revolution Healthcare Group and MIT Corporation
Board of Trustees.
