Hewlett-Packard says Clarke resigns

Hewlett-Packard Co. on Tuesday said Jeff Clarke, the head of global operations and the former chief financial officer of Compaq Computer Corp., resigned, effective immediately.

Clarke, who worked on the integration of HP and Compaq ahead of the controversial merger last year, was considered by some investors as a potential successor for the CFO position at HP, which is held by Bob Wayman.

"Clarke's resignation was mutually agreed to and was appropriate," HP said in a statement.

Clarke is one of several high profile executives that have left HP in the past few months. Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker, on Monday said that Mary McDowell, who was most recently head of strategy at HP, would lead its enterprise business unit.
