One Answer to "Who is Mark Hurd?" He wrote with Lars Nyberg “The Value Factor: How Global Leaders Use Information for Growth and Competitive Advantage” "We operate in a fast-changing global business environment..." From the San Jose Mercury News: “In a book he co-wrote last year, Hurd comes across as smart, numbers-driven and unsentimental -- just like Fiorina, who was fired last month by HP's board of directors. Unlike Fiorina, he seems ill-disposed toward self-promotion -- he's never been on the cover of a major business publication, and he's practically an unknown name in Silicon Valley.” ``Corporate leadership is not a democracy,' and he could have trouble with “the HP Way:” ``The core vision of the company comes from the top,' they say. ``The rest of the company can then be empowered to realize the vision.'

Since he is from a small(er) company, I bet part of the deal was to give great control to others in the organization they want to keep which Carly didn't want to share.
