Bill Wohl, a colleague of ousted Hewlett-Packard CEO Leo Apotheker at SAP, has departed embattled H-P corporate communications after just 10 months.
“I've left HP and am now "pursing new opportunities," Wohl said via Twitter. “I'm home in Pennsylvania and taking some deserved time off.”
New H-P chief Meg Whitman installed 28-year H-P veteran Lynn Anderson as chief communications officer, Wohl’s original title, in late September.
Amid a reshuffling in H-P’s corporate communications unit in August, Wohl was tapped to burnish the company’s software operations as it acquired Autonomy for $11.7B.
At the time, H-P put its corporate communications under marketing chief Marty Homlish.
