Hewlett-Packard & Compaq
Hires Brian Holloway to Super Charge Top Producers
With the merger final in May 2002, the multi-billion dollar
company now employs 145,000 professionals worldwide with business presence
in more than 160 countries. HP/Compaq has received numerous prestigious
awards with “Best Employer Award” and “Best Company to Work for Award”
among them.
Here’s what they are saying about Brian
Holloway:
SECURITY ALERT: Because of the tremendous
security measures we will not be able to disclose the names of the HP
and Compaq Super Champions. [They are the top minds in both companies
that have come together - collectively they represent a substantial part
of the worldwide intellectual capital of these Billion dollar giants.]
“We are here for two
or three days getting to know each other for the first time – wonderfully
inspiring speech – helped us all take a look inside at the things we
need to do.”
“Excellent presentation…
you made a difference, so much for the dumb football player myth.”
“Great, very inspiring…
you’ve opened up my thinking.”
“Great job, good key
points. Very inspiring and very well taken… the timing was perfect,
we have a big job to do.”
“He did a great job
talking about all the things we need to do in this HP/Compaq merger. Like
the Super Bowl, it takes a TEAM coming together for the winning combination
– and it really came across well and has been great for all of us… thanks
for the serious minded conversation.”
“Brian Holloway did
a great job. He was very motivational and he got the TEAM going. I
really appreciate you being here – it has been a roller coaster ride.”
“This was not about
football. This was about People, Passion and Dreams – the ultimate competitive
advantage.”
“Everything he said
really applies to the challenges that we have today. I am looking forward
to starting over.”
“Brian was very motivational. Everyone
in the crowd loved it and he did a wonderful job. A lot of applause,
a lot of tears and a lot of laughs… we are hard to impress.”
“Brian did an excellent
job tonight, very motivating, brought it into the context that everyone
has gone through in life and he brought it up to another level. We CAN
grow and drive to be very successful in this difficult new market.”
“From the heart, really
fired us all up… much needed and important.”
“Brian thank you so
much, really got a lot out of it.”
“I am from New
England, Brian is certainly an inspiration
not just because he was an outstanding leader and a New England Patriot, but because of what he is
about now. Brian is showing us what perseverance and fortitude is all
about, once again he is at the pinnacle of his career, and he just did
a tremendous job.”
