HP names former GSK chief Emma Walmsley as CEO

Nov 4 (Reuters) - ‌HP Inc on Wednesday ​named ‌former GSK chief ‌and Microsoft board member Emma ‌Walmsley as CEO to steer the PC maker through ⁠a memory-chip ‌shortage that has ⁠driven up prices ​and triggered a steep industry ​downturn.

Walmsley takes ​the ‌reins from Bruce Broussard, ​who ⁠has served as ‌interim CEO ​of ​HP since February. Broussard will become board chair, replacing ‌Chip Bergh, the company said.
