Tom Peters names Carly Fiorina, former CEO of HP, as his CEO of 2007 - almost two years after she left the company. "HP, not IBM, became the first $100 billion infotech company in 2007, and the primary reason was the highly contentious, and surprisingly successful, Compaq acquisition and integration."


"Thanks to the deal’s tenacious champion, Carly Fiorina, HP is now seen as a "consumer powerhouse" and "cool" with scintillating designs which was a laughable idea a few years ago. The transformation agent was Ms Fiorina and this cultural transformation, frankly, makes Jack Welch’s work at GE and Lou Gerstner’s at IBM a cakewalk by comparison."
