Which CEO of HP oversaw the company’s split into two in 2015? Meg Whitman oversaw it. Under her leadership, Hewlett-Packard separated into Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. on November 1, 2015.

Whitman became HP’s president and CEO in September 2011 after the board dismissed Léo Apotheker. During her tenure, HP chose to divide its enterprise technology and services operations from its personal-computer and printer businesses. The company announced the planned separation in October 2014, giving investors and employees roughly a year to prepare for the structural change.

The split created two publicly traded companies. Hewlett Packard Enterprise focused on servers, storage, networking, software, and business services. HP Inc. retained personal computers and printers. Whitman became chairman of HP Inc. and CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, while Dion Weisler became HP Inc.’s CEO.

The main mix-up is with Mark Hurd, Carly Fiorina, or Léo Apotheker, all former HP leaders associated with earlier chapters of the company’s history. Whitman did not merely announce the plan; she remained in charge through its legal completion.
