I recall the Carly days at HP.

She took the most respected name in any industry in the USA and drove it into the ground, taking Compaq with it.

When she started, HP had A-rated customer satisfaction ratings, and by the time she was done, both HP and Compaq had “F” ratings.

Her leadership gave the lead to Dell in PC and server sales.

Stories of her extravagances, including a full time hair stylist that traveled with her, abounded. (I see that she solved the hair issues with this hair cut?).

Finally, in the light of a horrible internal investigation scandal, she was forced from office, but only after the heirs of the original founders were forced out of the company.

So, what can she do for the US Government?!?!?!? I’ll tell you what she can do.....

If you look at the charts, it seems that Firoina’s strategy paid off big time. HP is up 150%, from 5 years ago; while Dell is down 65%.

Well actually her hair is not the result of a "cut", but the after effects of chemotherapy following her breast cancer diagnosis in February of this year."
