Under Fiorina, HP’s stock price plunged, but its revenue growth and cash flow growth came closer to matching IBM, Dell, and Microsoft. She basically sunk a bunch back into the company and bought Compaq, and didn’t make stockholders happy. To the uninformed, this could be made to look bad. But, Fiorina wasn’t a bad CEO, just not an outstanding one. However, the company was quite innovative under her tenure.
What are you talking about she was beyond awful..Compaq was one of the worst acquisitions in history.
There is a reason Carly did not get one job offer after being fired from HP. If you google worst CEOs ever chances are pretty good you will see a picture of Carly Fiorina. She might not be the worst ever (think Enron) but she is in the top 20.
