| Tech Stars Join Forces As Oracle Hires HP's Hurd |
07 Sep 10 |
| Shortly after leaving his post as HP (www.hp.com) chief executive officer, Mark V. Hurd has joined IT software and hardware firm Oracle (www.oracle.com) as president and has been named to the company's board of directors, where he will report to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison.
In August, Mark Hurd resigned his position as HP chairman, CEO and president following an investigation into a sexual harassment claim against Hurd by HP marketing consultant Jodie Fisher. While the investigation determined that Hurd had not violated HP's sexual harassment policy, he was found to have violated HP's Standards of Business Conduct by falsifying expense reports and breaking the trust of the board by attempting to keep his relationship with Fisher from them. |
