If Carly Fiorina ran the U.S. the way she ran HP, we'd be doomed

BY CHRISTINA WARREN

Sometimes, when I'm watching Carly Fiorina during her presidential bid, I ask myself if I'm in an alternate universe.

Fiorina — widely regarded in Silicon Valley as one of the worst tech CEOs of all-time — seems to be not just running on her past disastrous tenure as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, but to convince the public that this record is good enough to make her a contender for President.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Fiorina's time at HP was an unmitigated disaster that helped propel HP, one of the most iconic companies in American history, into a tailspin.

It's important to focus on the realities behind Fiorina's tenure as CEO. They don't hold up as her campaign speeches would have one believe.
