HP brought in Leo Apotheker to replace Hurd as CEO. Unfortunately for the company, Apotheker proved to be an incompetent leader who did not know how to succeed in the market and deal with the press. In August 2011, Apotheker decided to utilize a “surprise press release” to announce that HP was planning to spin off from its PC business.
