That said, from a purely business standpoint Fiorina was a logical choice to take over HP, coming off a remarkable run as president of the $20 billion Global Services division at Lucent. She was partly responsible for re-engineering Lucent into a technology highflyer from what was once Ma Bell's phonemaker.
