Innovation is in HP's DNA. From our origins in a Palo Alto garage in 1939, to our current position as one of the world's leading technology companies, HP has grown to become a leader in technology and corporate culture, inspiring innovators, and entrepreneurs around the globe.

The Team:

Today, what we build in Personal Systems is across three main pillars:

Advancing leadership in Computing is our first pillar

The Pandemic made PC's essential.

We create: laptops, desktops, business PCs, Gaming PCs, Chromebooks, Education-specific PCs, Creator-specific PCs, and Workstations...

Our second pillar is Creating leadership in Peripherals

Peripherals are your monitors, docks, webcams, keyboards, and mice....

Let's face it, the most immersive experiences come through things we see, hear, touch.

AND People refresh THEIR peripherals 5x faster AND MORE OFTEN than their notebooks.

You may have heard we acquired HyperX, WHERE WE DEVELOP HIGH QUALITY GAMING GEAR FOR ALL TYPES OF GAMERS ...and WE HAVE ALSO ACQUIRED Poly, WHICH ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE RAZOR-SHARP 4K VIDEO FOR THE ULTIMATE MEETING EXPERIENCES

AND OUR 3RD PILLAR IS Expanding Digital Services

More hybrid workforce and more time spent on digital platforms gaming, shopping, connecting = more need for services.

We are uniquely placed to help IT with combo across HP (PC & Print)

Can help them tackle the pain points of a remote workforce - onboarding, productivity, remote computing - we acquired Teradici.

All OF THIS IS Supported by Security and Sustainability

Mission = delivering new digital EXPERIENCES. PC + Peripherals + Services = Full Ecosystem Experiences.

Big goal = Lead in Hybrid Work and Gaming.
