The thesis

Why this org is unusual

HP’s most distinctive feature is the unusually broad span of control under an interim CEO, with nearly all major functions and businesses reporting directly to Bruce Broussard.

This reflects a transitional governance posture following Enrique Lores’ February 2026 departure.

The structure is otherwise a classic hybrid enterprise model: two core operating segments (Printing and Commercial/Sales) are paired with centralized corporate functions such as Finance, Legal, HR, IT, and Supply Chain. Notably, there is no permanent COO layer, pushing operational oversight directly to the CEO.

This configuration emphasizes speed and board oversight during the CEO search but increases execution load on the interim chief, especially given HP’s global scale and restructuring initiatives under the Fiscal 2026 Plan.

  • Interim CEO appointed Feb 2026
  • No COO role
  • Independent board chair separated from CEO

The comparison

How HP Inc. stacks up

Most peers employ a COO or President to absorb operational complexity. HP’s separation of an independent board chair and interim CEO is stronger than peers and provides governance stability …
