Howard Clabo, senior VP-global communications at Hewlett-Packard Enterprises, is leaving his job next month to start his own firm.
During a six-year stint, Clabo handled a broad array of strategic communications matters, including issues management, restructurings and mergers/acquisitions.
He played a major role in communicating one of the largest corporate splits, the separation of HPE (software, services) and HP (printers).
Prior to HPE, Clabo was head of communications at Applied Materials, media relations manager at FedEx and manager at Citigate Worldwide.
Clabo's exit from HPE follows the February 1 retirement of CEO & ex-eBay chief Meg Whitman, who was succeeded by Antonio Neri, an engineer.
Neri will be the first technologist to run HPE in nearly 20 years.


Credibility doesn’t happen automatically. It’s built steadily through engagement with the audiences that shape market perception early – industry analysts, press, venture investors, strategic advisors and the broader technology ecosystem.
For technology brands, trade shows are where reputations are defined, relevance is maintained and relationships are formed in real-time.
