Bethany Mayer Named SVP and GM of HP Networking Business

Earlier today, Hewlett-Packard named Bethany Mayer senior vice president and general manager of its networking business as the technology company continued to shuffle its management.

Last month, HP fired Leo Apotheker after 11 months as its chief executive and appointed former eBay Inc. (EBAY) chief Meg Whitman in his place. More than 10 executive vice presidents and senior vice presidents had left HP since Apotheker joined the company in November.

Mayer had been the division’s interim leader for the past few months, following the resignation of Marius Haas. Haas left in May to join private-equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts.

Meyer will continue to oversee HP Networking’s worldwide operations, reporting to Dave Donatelli, executive vice president and general manager of Enterprise Servers, Storage, Networking and Technology Services at HP.

“During her interim leadership of HP Networking, Bethany exceeded performance goals resulting in our seventh straight quarter of double-digit growth. She is the right leader to accelerate this business,” said  Donatelli.
