ABOUT HEWLETT-PACKARD CO. HISTORY
Hewlett-Packard's Executive Leadership

Hewlett-Packard Company (HPC) benefitted from some of the most innovative leaders in tech industry history. When HPC separated into HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprises in 2015, the new companies could immediately claim a distinguished legacy of leadership.

Note that Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett were the established heads of the company long before the board of directors conferred official titles for chief executives.
