The Operator
Execution, delivery and performance, gets the hard thing done.
Enrique Lores reads as The Operator because his authority at HP was earned layer by layer, from an internship through three decades inside the business before taking the chief executive role.
“I think there are three big differentiations for our products, especially in the PC space. One is security. Cyber security is every time more important. And we build both software and hardware in our PCs to make them more secure. Second big differentiation is industrial design.”
“About HP is that it's a company that really cares about helping society, that we have a big opportunity to enable our employees to be more productive, to be more engaged, and that we see a lot of opportunities to innovate, to make it happen. And also that is a company with very strong values and strong principles.”
“I think one is all the geopolitical changes that we are seeing. I think we have had a very stable environment for the last 20 years. It was very clear how to manage the company to be successful. Things have changed extremely fast. And this is having significant impact on our business.”
“Is both we have teams in the company that are constantly exploring new ideas, but we also have a small venture fund that looks what is being invented, what is being created in startups, and then we invest on those.”
