One of America’s first tech companies, HP - Hewlett Packard Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) was started in a Palo Alto garage by Bill Hewlett and David Packard in 1939—kicking off the lab coat era of Silicon Valley. The company has been through many reboots, M&A events, and market headwinds filled with leadership challenges over the decades—and was even split into two companies in 2015. Today, fresh off its $3B+ acquisition of hybrid-work leader Poly, the company employs over fifty thousand people in 170 countries, who generated over $63B in revenue last year. With recent investments by Warren Buffett, the acquisition of Poly and other emerging brands like Z, Omen, Hyper and Arize, the tech giant continues its rebooting journey, stepping up in the market and doubling down on gaming and peripherals, hybrid work solutions and more. I invited Stephanie Dismore, HP’s head of North America to join me for an episode of The Reboot Chronicles to unpack their latest go-to market strategies across a portfolio of expanding products and services in the commercial, consumer and public sectors.
