Another Evidence of Galápagos

HP named Leo Apotheker as new CEO. Leo Apotheker was CEO at a German software company SAP. The former chief at HP, Mark Hurd, was ousted last month due to sexual harassment. Mark Hurd is now co-president of Oracle, which his friend Larry Ellison founded.

Fujitsu, one of the largest computer hardware and IT services company in Japan, also expelled its CEO, Nozoe Kuniaki, this year. I haven't heard of him get a new job at another firm. Did HP ever think of Nozoe as a candidate for new CEO? I doubt it. I think HP hasn't ever heard of him. The recruitment would not have included any Japanese candidates. Galápagos. Sure, it is.

By the way, HP's revenue is ten times as large as SAP's. It's impossible for anyone here to move to a company ten times larger. Galápagos. Sure, it is.
