| Considered a loyal lieutenant to former CEO Carly Fiorina, Livermore has stayed in the same job under new CEO Mark Hurd. She runs a $29.8 billion business that includes storage, servers, software, and services. Thanks to strong third-quarter sales, operating profits were $405 million for the first three quarters, vs. $61 million over the same period last year. |
