<--OT--> Compaq board undecided on CEO, AltaVista
Scott:
As you know CPQ board met the other day to decide on CEO and the AltaVista thing,guess they don't know what the heck they want to do,all they could do was throw around couple of possibilities.
===============================
...But at the close of the regularly scheduled meeting, the directors walked away without tabling any decisions, sources said.
..........
....One name often mentioned in CEO searches is George Fisher, chief executive at film giant Kodak. Fisher, who has experience running a Fortune 500 company and background in the tech world, having worked at Motorola, is planning to step down from his CEO post at the end of the year.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reported that John Zeglis, president of AT&T, and Gregory Brenneman, president of Continental Airlines, are the front runners for the Compaq spot.
Paul Otellini, general manager of the Intel Architecture Business Group, has had his name bandied about as a potential Compaq CEO candidate, but sources say it's unlikely.
Intel sources say Otellini wants to stay in California and may instead be a candidate for the vacant CEO position at Hewlett-Packard.
