Women as Managers/Leaders
Will Carly Fiorina Make a Lasting Impression as
Hewlett-Packard’s CEO? 92
• Carly Fiorina has a silver tongue and an iron will. When
the 44-year-old was considering the CEO post at
Hewlett-Packard Co., she met board member Richard A
Hackborn for lunch at the Gaslight Club in Chicago’s
O’Hare airport. Hackborn who had built HP’s printer
business into a gold mine in the 1980s, had decided to
leave HP’s board to devote his time to charity work. But
over salads and “what felt like 10 gallons” of iced tea,
Fiorina persuaded him not only to reconsider but also to
step up as chairman. “You can’t tell me there’s a better
person for the job.”
Fiorina-1st Woman to Head Computer Giant
• She told Hackborn as Gaslight’s waitresses, clad in
skimpy uniforms and fishnet stockings, made their
rounds. Over the course of three hours, Hackborn
agreed, “And no, I did not put on fishnet stockings,”
Fiorina says with a laugh. “Don’t even go there.”
• It will take all of the charm and mettle Fiorina trotted out
that afternoon to get her where she wants to go at HP.
On July 19 [1999], the granddaddy of Silicon Valley
announced that Fiorina would be the first woman to head
a Dow 30 company - and the first outsider to take the
reins of the venerable computer giant.
