Fiorina was the CEO of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, Tech30) during a tumultuous time for the Silicon Valley legend.
She joined the company in July 1999 after a successful stint at AT&T (T, Tech30) and its networking equipment spinoff Lucent.
But the tech bubble burst only a few months after she took the HP job.
Fiorina tried to jump start the company's growth in the PC market by acquiring rival Compaq in 2002 for $19 billion.
That deal is now considered one of the worst in the history of the tech sector. And HP wound up laying off 30,000 workers during her nearly six-year tenure.
By the time of Fiorina's ouster in February 2005, HP's stock had lost nearly half its value. The Nasdaq index had fallen 27% during the same time frame.
Adding insult to injury, HP's stock rose 7% on the news that she was leaving HP.
I covered Fiorina's departure for CNNMoney. At the time, an analyst covering HP told me "nobody liked Carly's leadership all that much. The Street had lost all faith in her and the market's hope is that anyone will be better."

Yea, ok you’re just so brilliant and leaps and bounds ahead of us little people. Your arrogance comes through loud and clear. Silly tactic on your end, but hey, you wrote a book!!
C. Edmund Wright: #36 What you people don't understand is that I'm toying with you
Eddy's superior political mind is just toying with you and everyone who might support Trump! He's a political mastermind!☺
By the way, did you see this video of Fiorina AAG?
In the video Fiorina couldnt figure out she had an open microphone, proceeds to mock some other female politician looks, while broadcasting it to millions!

Great stuff! Be sure to watch Fiorians face in the video. Its just classic!
Check the Video of Fiorina in #44 as she mocks another females politician's looks!
Watch her face near the end of this short video when she finally figures out she's got an open microphone. It's hilarious!
He’s a regular Rove style genius. Never knew I was just to dense to see it.
Yes I’ve seen it and remember it from when it happened.
She’d never get my vote.
Something that always strikes me about Fiorina and Hillary are their facial expressions, often their “micro” expressions. Both seem to me to be nasty and bad-tempered.
Eddy's a self appointed political mastermind!
C. Edmund Wright; The prince of politics!
How she's running for President and not being prosecuted is a clear portrayal of this rotten corrupt government.
Here's an example:
Trust me, takes no mastermind to best you two ignorant clowns.
And yes, I am toying with you. And I’ve become the issue in your tiny minds, not Trump.
You've already established that Eddie!
You're clearly the superior political mind here on Free Republic! You're a self appointed political mastermind!☺
You're in the, "upper crust" crowd, remember Eddie?☺
who are you?
Oh wait, no body cares. NO BODY.
nice try Planet Moron. Last I heard, the MSM, Univision and La Raza were not running for President on the GOP side. and no one around here has anything nice to say about Bush. So get back to me when youre smart enough to join the adult table in context.
Planet moron? Very slick term Eddie.
Btw, Mr. political mastermind, did ya see the letters D.C. in there? Even you know what that means, right Eddie? Well Eddie? ☺
In case ya don't know Eddie, D.C. means District of Corruption, where your phony upper crust adults sucks the GD life out of the rest of America. D.C., means the Republican party, and the Democratic party, including all their bribing lobbyist, well connected influence peddlers, cons, liars and assorted criminals on the government payroll.
For a super duper political genius, you seem to be slipping Eddie.
So sorry Eddie, you and your arrogance take up no space in my life. If you did, I’d comment far more on your never ending posting, which leads me to wonder what it is you do all damn day! Don’t tell me, you’re a stealth campaign worker, dropping your brilliance everywhere!
Keep poking, you’re a funny fella.
So he says, in reality he’s a little gnat, one to be brushed away often.
Btw Mr. political mastermind, I'm not sure where this came from, but I am not the issue here. Every time you lose your ass on this forum ya start the name calling routine.
I can only hope people like you are eventually buried under 10' of your own politically corrupt ash.
But she did continue turning that place into Hewlett-Patel.
