(InfoWorld) - One week after Yahoo Inc. named co-founder Jerry Yang as CEO, the company promoted David Karnstedt to head of North American sales, continuing a company restructuring that began in December 2006. Yahoo also announced plans to merge its search and display advertising units. In December, the company reorganized into three divisions: the Audience Group, the Advertiser & Publisher Group, and the Technology Group, the heads of which all report to the CEO. With Karnstedt's appointment as head of North American sales, U.S. Chief Sales Officer Wenda Millard will leave the company immediately, Yahoo said. Keeping up with Yahoo's executive arrivals and departures since the December shakeup requires a scorecard. Upon announcement of the three new corporate divisions in December, the company announced Chief Operations Officer Dan Rosenzweig would move on, departing in March. Also in December, former Chief Financial Officer Susan Decker became head of the Advertiser & Publisher Group, before being named president of Yahoo last week. Decker will continue to oversee that group, and will also have the Audience Group in her portfolio. The Technology Group was headed by Chief Technology Officer Farzad Nazem until he left the company June 8. Yahoo's other co-founder, David Filo, will lead the Technology Group until Nazem's replacement is named. Former CEOÂ Terry Semel stepped down last week to make way for Yang, but will remain with Yahoo as non-executive chairman.

(InfoWorld) - Hewlett-Packard's executive vice president of global operations, Gilles Bouchard, will leave the company at the end of October. The news came Tuesday immediately before HP announced that ChairmanÂ Patricia Dunn will step down. Bouchard's departure comes at aÂ difficult time for HP. Dunn faces questions from organizations including the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and a congressional committee. The questions relate to the way in which details of phone calls made by board members and journalists were obtained during an internal investigation into boardroom leaks regarding the departure of former HP Chief Executive Officer Carly Fiorina. On Tuesday, HP announced that company CEO Mark Hurd will succeed Dunn, who will remain chairman through the companyâs Jan. 18, 2007, board meeting. Meanwhile, Hurd announced Bouchard's decision to leave in an e-mail sent to all employees late Monday, adding that Bouchard will remain in post until Oct. 31. In June, HP announced plans toÂ axe the global operations organizationÂ that Bouchard heads in an effort to simplify its operating model, folding it back into the company's three main business units: Imaging and Printing Group, Personal Systems Group and Technology Solutions Group. Bouchard's work leading that transition has been "outstanding," with the majority of the work completed in the third quarter, Hurd wrote in his e-mail. The closure of the global operations group, where Bouchard managed HP's worldwide supply chain and customer-facing operations activities, is part of aÂ broader reorganization of the companyÂ began in July 2005. That process began with the elimination of the central service unit responsible for enterprise sales, the Customer Solutions Group. Staff and activities from that group were also redeployed to the company's three main business units. Bouchard joined the company in 1989, working in its printer business. He later took charge of merging HP's supply chain with that of Compaq when the two companies joined. Before concentrating on global operations, Bouchard had an additional responsibility as the company's chief information officer, charged with simplifying HP's IT infrastructure. In that role, he was responsible for a migration of the company's ERP (enterprise resource planning) system. Then CEO Fiorina said in August 2004 that problems with that migration had contributed to the company'sÂ failure to meet financial targetsÂ in that year's third fiscal quarter.

(InfoWorld) - In its quest to re-energize its storage business, Hewlett-Packard has recruited the former president and CEO of storage rival Hitachi Data Systems (HDS). Dave Roberson resigned from HDS Friday and will join HP on Wednesday as the company's new senior vice president and general manager in charge of its HP StorageWorks enterprise storage business. He will take over from Bob Schultz who has been juggling two jobs since January when he was appointed senior vice president and general manager of a new HP business unit, its enterprise server and storage software organization. As of Friday, Chief Operating Officer Minoru Kosuge has been promoted to HDS CEO and Jack Domme, executive vice president of global solutions strategy and development, has become COO, according to a company spokeswoman. "While we will miss Dave, we are very pleased to see Dave in his new role at HP," the spokeswoman wrote in an e-mail. "HP and Hitachi have been long-standing partners for many years, collaborating in areas ranging from personal computers to storage solutions. As Hitachi and HP are always looking for ways to enhance and expand the current strategic business relationship, Dave's presence at HP will most certainly enable us to further build and strengthen an already strong partnership and take it to new heights." HP has an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) deal in place with the parent company of HDS, Hitachi Ltd., whereby HP rebadges Hitachi's high-end TagmaStore storage equipment. At the same time, HP and HDS are competitors in the storage market. Roberson had been at HDS for 26 years and became president and CEO of the business in April 2006. Among his achievements while at the vendor were helping to build up HDS's worldwide channel and developing key business partnerships. HDS has reseller agreements for Hitachi storage hardware with a number of vendors, notably Sun Microsystems Inc. "It's too bad for HDS; they've lost a good resource," said Greg Schulz, senior analyst and founder of StorageIO Group. "It's good news for HP." He sees Roberson as a positive addition to HP, someone who's a businessman, not a technologist or a person focused on marketing. "It'll be interesting to see if he can get the business back on track," he added. What HP needs is to get the storage hardware, software and services elements of its business "all headed in a common direction," Schulz said. HP's recruitment of Roberson is similar to EMC Corp.'s move during 2002 and 2003 when it hired away a trio of HP's top storage talent in the persons of Mark Lewis, Howard Elias and Mark Sorenson, Schulz said. HP is partway through a massive restructuring of its operations spearheaded by company Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mark Hurd who joined the vendor in 2005. The intention is to end up with a leaner, meaner, more focused HP that's better able to compete in the market. Those efforts have already paid off in stronger sales of the vendor's servers, but HP's storage business isn't growing as fast as Hurd would like. In February, Hurd said publicly that HP needed to do a better job in broadening its storage selling efforts and should take on more storage sales specialists. In each of the last few fiscal quarters, HP's storage business has only grown in the low single digits. HP's primary storage competitors include EMC Corp. and IBM Corp. Some key areas HP needs to work on in its storage operations are its NAS (network attached storage) products, its storage management software and beefing up its backup and recovery offerings, according to Mike Karp, senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates.
