Com a executiva en cap d'HP entre 1999 i 2005, Fiorina va ser la primera dona a dirigir una companyia entre les 20 primeres del Fortune 500.^[2] El 2002 Fiorina va superivsar la fusió més gran fins llavors dins del sector tecnològic, quan HP va adquirir la companyia rival en ordinadors personals Compaq. La transacció va convertir HP en la principal venedora d'ordinadors personals.^[3]^[4] HP subsegüentment va acomiadar 30.000 empleats americans per estalviar-se 80.000 llocs de treball.^[5]^[6]^[7] El febrer de 2005 va haver de dimitir a causa de desacords amb la junta directiva.^[8]^[9]^[10]

↑ Farley, Robert. "Ad from Sen. Barbara Boxer attacks Carly Fiorina for layoffs at HP", Politifact (September 17, 2010): "According to SEC filings, HP had 84,400 employees worldwide in 2001, the year before the merger. In 2001, Compaq had 63,700 full-time employees. That comes to a total of 148,100 workers. In 2005, just after her departure, HP's worldwide workforce reached 150,000. Net gain? In the Los Angeles Times story, reporter Robin Abcarian said that statement is dubious, because 'in that same period, HP bought more than a dozen other U.S. companies with at least 8,000 employees, according to company filings, press releases and news reports.'….It's clear that Fiorina laid off 30,000 workers as a result of the merger with Compaq, as she said in the interview with InformationWeek. And it's clear that by October 2005 the merged company employed more workers than the two separate companies had pre-merger (Fiorina had been forced out seven months earlier in February 2005). But some of those jobs may have resulted from acquisitions, and some may have been abroad."
