Meg Whitman has executed against a 5-year turnaround strategy that has repositioned the company to better compete and win in today's environment. The company rebuilt its balance sheet, reignited innovation, strengthened operations and improved customer and partner satisfaction. It made strategic moves to focus and strengthen its portfolio, including its separation from HP Inc., which was the largest corporate separation in history. Meg Whitman led the subsequent spin off and mergers of HPE's Enterprise Services and Software businesses, as well as strategic acquisitions including Aruba, SGI, SimpliVity and Nimble Storage. Since the birth of HPE on November 2, 2015, the company has delivered a total shareholder return of 89 percent, which is more than three times that of the S&P 500. Antonio Neri, 50, joined HP in 1995 as a customer service engineer in the EMEA call center. He went on to hold various roles in HP's Printing business and then to run customer service for HP's Personal Systems unit.
