HP Names Emma Walmsley CEO for 2027 as 9-Month Search Ends

Summary
January 4, 2027 is when Emma Walmsley will take over HP, ending a nine-month CEO search and replacing interim chief Bruce Broussard.
HP turned to the former GSK boss as printing revenue declines and AI-driven demand for components pushes up PC prices, increasing pressure for a strategic reset.
Walmsley led GSK for more than eight years, overhauled its finances and spun off consumer healthcare unit Haleon, but this will be her first time running a tech company.
Broussard, who stepped in after Enrique Lores left in February for PayPal, will become board chair, while Walmsley will leave Microsoft's board in December after seven years.
