Scott Spradley has been named the chief information officer for
Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, according to a memo obtained by The
Wall Street Journal. Mr. Spradley, a seven-year veteran at H-P,
most recently led efforts separating the company's IT systems as it
split into two entities.
Mr. Spradley will replace Ramon Baez, who was appointed senior
vice president of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise's customer advocacy
organization in February, and had served in the role of CIO until
now. In this customer-focused role, Mr. Baez will be speaking at
conferences and consulting with CIOs on their own IT
transformations, CIO Journal reported in August.
At the beginning of August, H-P began operating as two separate
entities as the company waits for final approval from the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The split creates two
companies, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, which will sell corporate
technology and services, and HP Inc., which will sell PCs and
printers. The separation of the two companies is expected to be
complete on November 1. Naresh Shanker is CIO for HP Inc.
Mr. Spradley was the IT leader responsible for separating the IT
components of the two companies. He managed a team that worked
directly with more than 3,500 customers and partners to prepare to
separate nearly 750 systems, or 95% of H-P's business. It also
meant cloning 2,600 internal computer programs including human
resources systems and supply chain forms, separating their data and
restarting them, reported WSJ's Robert McMillan.
The memo noted Mr. Spradley's 25 years of leadership and IT
experience. He has been with H-P for seven years, most recently
serving as CIO of HP Global Functions. Previously, he held
leadership roles at Intel Corp. and Chevron Corp.
