Mark Hurd recently resigned after five large years as CEO of Hewlett Packard. He left Hp amid allegations brought by Jodie Fisher, a former consultant, of sexual harassment. Not long after, he was approached by Oracle to take an executive position with that business, a competitor of Hp.
<a title="Oracle picks up Mark Hurd and a legal action from Hewlett Packard" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/09/07/oracle-mark-hurd/">Oracle picks up Mark Hurd and a lawsuit from HP</a>Hurd accepted a job as co-president of Oracle, however the jump via one giant technology company to another was not that simple. Hewlett Packard is suing Oracle, as it is alleged Oracle can't hire a former executive of a competitor, and especially one that signed as many confidentiality agreements. It is easy to understand why Oracle would though. Hurd is a known heavyweight within the tech industry.
