Networking

10K employees

EVP, President and GM of Networking (Rami Rahim)

The thesis

Why this org is unusual

The most distinctive feature of HPE’s structure is that the head of Networking operates as a CEO-level peer following the Juniper Networks acquisition.

Rather than burying networking under a broader infrastructure group, HPE elevated Rami Rahim directly under the CEO, signaling the strategic weight of networking and AI-driven infrastructure.

The absence of separate divisional CEOs for most product lines reinforces centralized control, while selectively elevating Networking reflects acquisition-driven prioritization.

  • Networking GM reports directly to CEO
  • No standalone Chief AI Officer role
  • Combined COO and General Counsel role
