This article is for subscribers only.
Hewlett-Packard Co.’s Dion Weisler took an in-development $1,899 computer home for several months this year, tinkering with features and contacting engineers on evenings and weekends with ways to improve it.
He’ll have a $55.9 billion-a-year business to work with next, in his role as chief executive officer of a printer and personal-computer business that will be spun off from Hewlett-Packard next year. A two-decade industry veteran who joined the company in 2012, Weisler is facing shrinking demand for PCs, rising component prices and narrowing margins.
