Hurd May Join Oracle

Mark Hurd, former HP CEO, is reported to be in talks with Oracle. Mr. Hurd would be the right man for the job of polishing up Oracle’s hardware business, and would also give Larry Ellision a worthy successor.

Meanwhile, Hurd also knows the data warehousing business. Before Hurd went to HP, he was in charge of NCR, which at the time had Teradata as one of its key units. That experience could come in handy as Oracle seeks to build out its Exadata line.
