Weisler has been CEO since 2015, when HP split into two parts: a PC and printer business known as HP Inc., led by Weisler, and an enterprise services business called HPE, led by former HP CEO Meg Whitman until she stepped down in 2015. She has since co-founded short video platform Quibi.
Lores has been at HP for 30 years and started at the company as an engineering intern, according to the press release. In 2018, he was part of a team that showed us a zero-gravity printer designed for the International Space Station.
