The inevitable has happened. HP yesterday announced Meg Whitman to take place of Apotheker as President and CEO. Whitman will replace the 11-month CEO Apotheker who has stepped down from the designation and resigned as a director of the company.
Coming from a consumer-business background, Whitman’s appointment would raise some hopes about HP getting back into the consumer business but the new CEO has confirmed HP will stick to its strategy announced previously. This means webOS will still be dead and the PC business will be spun off.
