HP Innovation Journal Issue 13: Winter 2019 | Page 14

As a 23-year-old college intern in Germany, HP made a very
positive impression on my young mind, and I knew it was
where I wanted to invest the best years of my career.
Today I have 22 collective years at HP under my belt, nine
international moves, and three Executive Leadership Team
appointments. I feel very fortunate to have had such a
variety of roles and experiences, across different cultures,
countries, and areas of expertise. Regardless of my role,
I have been surrounded by people that are deeply passionate
about what they do.
As a leader, I’m incredibly proud of our progress on Diver-
sity and Inclusion, and as a parent, our alignment around
Sustainable Impact stands out. Our culture sets us apart
and will continue to inspire, both inside the company and
out for years to come.
Will you have a main office? Or will you rotate
between the 10 geographic markets?
While my home base is Palo Alto, it’s a personal priority
to be out in the market, communicating with customers,
partners and employees and knowing what’s happening
across all geographies. Thus far I’ve held customer meet-
ings in Germany, partner meetings at Canalys Channels
Forum in Barcelona, and hosted coffee talks in Geneva,
Paris, Grenoble, London, Beijing, and Dubai and soon
Singapore and Greater Asia.

I also want my staff to be out in the market, not behind a desk.
One of our guiding principles is what I refer to as “double
heading” in functions as much as we can. In particular
double heading in the market at a country level is something
very powerful. When I was leading the Americas, I really
enjoyed also serving as the managing director for the U.S.
By being out where the customers, partners and employees
are, you gain a much better understanding of what’s
going on. To spend time with these groups is always a
great privilege. Universally we’re seeing strong feed-
back, understanding, and commitment around the new
model—and I’m feeling very optimistic about the success
of our new org structure and I have great confidence in
our collective future.
In my mind, there is no question that HP will be a
company that continues to define the future—but only
if we have the courage and determination to continually
reinvent ourselves.
