Carly Fiorina, one of the country’s highest profile corporate executives, was forced out as chairman and chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co., bringing a close to a contentious tenure that put her at odds with the company’s board.
Robert P. Wayman, a 36-year veteran of H-P and current chief financial officer, has been named interim CEO and appointed to the board. Patricia C. Dunn, an H-P director since 1998, has been named nonexecutive chairman, also effective immediately, the company said.
