SAN FRANCISCO: A person familiar with the ouster of Hewlett-Packard Co’s former CEO Mark Hurd tells The Associated Press that the woman who accused Hurd of sexual harassment also claimed that he told her about a major acquisition HP was about to make.
The person requested anonymity because of not being authorised to discuss the allegations. The person said the deal in question was HP’s US$13.9bil (RM45bil) acquisition of Electronic Data Systems in 2008.
