A week after Vishal Sikka left Infosys as MD & CEO over tussle with founders, a report on Friday claimed he is all set to join computer software and chip maker Hewlett Packard.
“Sikka is most likely to join the $50-billion Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) IT company as chief technology officer (CTO),” a report in media said.
Interestingly, days before Sikka stepped down, Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy had said Sikka was not fit for a CEO’s role he was rather good for a chief technology officer’s job at Infosys.
Sikka had based his office as Infosys top boss in Palo Alto in California’s Silicon Valley. The American multinational Heweltt Packard Enterprise is also headquartered in PA.
Meg Whitman is the present chairman of the computer software maker Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
Whitman had unsuccessfully contested in the California gubernatorial race in 2010 on a Republican party ticket.
