Just over a year after taking the job as HP’s top executive, CEO Leo Apotheker may soon be unceremoniously escorted to the door. The company’s board of directors is reportedly meeting on this and other issues this week. The board is said to be eying former eBay CEO Meg Whitman as a replacement. Whitman clocked in 10-plus years of strong executive leadership at the online auction company. HP did not return a request for comment in time for publication. Though the reports remain unconfirmed at press time, it isn’t difficult to see why the board may want a change in direction.
