赫德成为惠普公司新任首席执行官

  Hewlett-Packard has selected Mark Hurd, NCR chief executive, as its next CEO, according to a source close to the board.

  Hurd's appointment comes less than two months after HP ousted former chief executive Carly Fiorina. Hurd will serve as president and chief executive, with Patricia Dunn retaining the chairwoman title, the source said. Hurd is expected to begin his new duties early next month.

  "He has done an astonishing job at NCR and had inherited similar problems" to those at HP, the source said. "NCR sells into retail and enterprise markets, and has the same complexities."

  HP representatives were not immediately available to comment on Hurd's appointment. NCR issued a statement Tuesday that Hurd was resigning to take "a position with a large global technology company." His resignation is effective immediately.

  "I'm very proud of what NCR has achieved during my tenure as CEO, and I'm confident that with the company's leading technologies and attractive markets, coupled with the management team's focus on execution, the momentum will continue," Hurd said in a statement.

  James Ringler, an NCR board member, will serve as interim CEO while the company searches for a replacement.

  During the search, Hurd emerged as a clear frontrunner within the first month of the effort, the source said.

  And though the search ended quickly, Hurd was not well-known to HP prior to its CEO search. He was not among the candidates reviewed when HP selected Fiorina six years ago, the source noted.

  Nonetheless, he made a favorable impression on this go-round. "He's young, he has a fabulous record, he understands the industry, he's tough and recruits good people," the source said.

  Hurd, 48, initially joined NCR in 1980 and rose up the ranks. He worked as a senior sales and marketing executive and later as the chief. During his tenure as NCR chief executive, the company has pre-announced higher-than-expected earnings for eight consecutive quarters--prompting some analysts to joke that he was "sandbagging" Wall Street, Embersits said. But once the bulk of the turnaround was completed, Hurd's NCR financial projections were roughly 95 percent in line with Wall Street's estimates, he added.

  That's in contrast to HP's track record under Fiorina, in which the company issued several sizable warnings that its earnings would fall short of analysts' expectations.

  Although Hurd has a track record of quickly implementing change at NCR while sitting in the CEO chair, the speed at which he works at HP may be less dramatic. Hurd had the advantage of spending more than 20 years at NCR before assuming the CEO role, so he was intimately familiar with the company.

  He will also face the challenge of running a company that has revenues 10 times larger than NCR, as well as encountering intense competition from Dell and IBM while instituting change.

  "It's a strategic challenge," said Chris Foster, an analyst at Technology Business Research. "It's transforming this company from its hardware roots, and the Compaq hardware roots as well, into a software-and-services company that can execute. The future of tech is not in the PC, and it's not in servers. It's getting to the level where they're more like IBM, where software and services drive the company."

  Still, investors reacted swiftly to the news of Hurd's departure: NCR stock fell more than 10 percent in morning trading Tuesday, to $33.81 a share. Shares of HP rose $1.15, or 5.81 percent, to $20.94 a share in morning trading.

赫德成为惠普公司新任首席执行官

  前任首席执行官卡莉的离职使得新任首席执行官 人选成为了惠普公司近期最为关注的问题。据公司董事层的消息,经过层层筛选后,NCR公司总裁马克·赫德最终当选,成为电脑巨头惠普公司的下一任首席执行官。 实际上赫德先生很早以前就进入了惠普公司董事会新任首席执行官候选人名单,卡莉离职后不到两个月赫德就被定为继任人选。

  据ZDNet3月29日报道,赫德先生将会正式出任惠普公司下一任总裁兼首席执行官,与此同时,帕特里西亚·邓恩将继续保持惠普公司董事会主席的职位。赫德正式上任的时间预计将会在下月的早些时候。惠普内部人士表示,“在NCR工作期间,赫德表现出了令人惊讶的能力,并且即将在惠普公司面对的也是赫德先生在之前所经历过的。”

  NCR公司29日发表了一项声明说,赫德辞去了在NCR的职务,“接受了一个全球性大型科技公司的职位”。

  实际上在6年之前惠普公司首席执行官的选择上,赫德先生甚至没有进入公司的大名单,惠普最终选择了卡莉女士。不过在此次卡莉女士继任者的评选中,前一个月的时间赫德一直在名单中占据了绝对的领先地位,因此他此次的当选也完全在外界的意料之内。 从目前得到的消息来看惠普公司对于赫德先生的评价十分之高。“赫德年轻,并且拥有骄人的业绩。他对于业界有着深刻的理解,并且十分懂得任人唯贤的原则。”

  赫德今年48岁,在1980年的时候加入了NCR公司,并且亲手将NCR带到了如今的规模。在NCR工作期间,赫德曾经担任过高级销售员、市场部门领导以及首席运营官 等职位。在2003年的3月,赫德正式出任NCR公司首席执行官 一职。NCR公司的业务主要集中在为自动提款机以及IT服务商提供软硬件以及相关服务。去年的收益达到了59.8亿美元。

  自从赫德先生出任NCR公司首席执行官职位以来,公司股票已经上涨了3成之多。在出任惠普公司下一任首席执行官 的消息被发布之后,NCR公司的股票立即下滑了10%,达到每股33.81美元。与此同时惠普公司股票上升了5.81%,达到每股20.94美元。(记者:李远)
