@4ta a bit late to the part (no offense)

@1bx it's true but the guy was good at his job
@1b9 couldn't have a Russian in a public leadership position in 2022
@qt eh I think Dimitri leaving is what ki-led Luxoft. Sorta rudderless ever since.
“retiring to spend more time with his family…” Is that the best Raul could come up with :)
The most hilarious part being that he was WFH.
@qr he did not damage. He ki-led Luxoft
Shame he damaged luxoft... One of the few decent bits of DXC.
(no I'm not luxoft myself)
Howie already drove materially bad negative growth the entire time he led us. Worst integration of businesses by hin with no vision or growth strategy. He destroyed all the parts of CES that grew for dxc over the prior years. Last quarter he drove -3.9% growth and that amount benefitted from 2.2% of currency exchange. the last couple of years that had growth lowered because of currency exchange. Without the currency exchange benefit he really drove -5.1% growth last quarter. He almost grew as negative as GIS!
@kc well Howie and his useless bunch of IBMers have all but destroyed growth in large chunks of GBS/CES especially Luxoft, with management and top engineering talent flooding out the door. Deals that have any financial innovationare being 'no bid' by DXC's CFO. Yes its a safe bet Q1 numbers will be awful and show no growth.
@m3 I didn't realize Mike hired him. Hmmm.
Can we please bring Lawrie and the steak cutter - they were far better.
Quick work – gone in 22 months!
ASHBURN, Va., September 1, 2023 — DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) today announced that Howard Boville has been appointed Executive Vice President and Global Lead of Applications Services and Artificial Intelligence reporting directly to DXC Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Mike Salvino, effective September 1, 2023.

So it's safe to assume that the GBS business is going to start posting big declines right? That must be why he was fired.
Howie - wheres our $100 stock price? You and the team you brought with you drove the stock price almost in half since you joined with your negative growth.
@dz in other words you're saying that he was fired. Wasn't there a thread here a few months ago about Pat and HBO getting in a fight?
@f3+1jz11pcnp that award went to Mike 1.0 long ago
@f3 not only he is bad... but he is also a tyrant
What about the other ibm’ers from ( platts art , Del b,etc?
Raul now has someone else to blame for his own flawed and pathetic performance. He should get the award for worst CEO ever. Anyone with anything has left this place.
I was told they are picking the next leader between a hockey player or basketball player from the Washington teams or a person from one of Raul's $100 million or less revenue companies he invested in. That playbook has driven a ton or growth for DXC over the last year and a half so why change.
@cy He's off the website now.
@dx I'm thinking that was very thinly veiled on purpose. He's smarter than you think.
Love how the cover it up being fired with 'retirement' to focus on personal and professional interests lmao
@dw “retiring to spend more time with his family…” Is that the best Raul could come up with :)
It's official. Raul just sent the note.
The leaders he brought with him were behind the scenes making the recommendations that have destroyed our business. Goonville relied on them for recommendations so he could then go be a dictator because he did not lead us - he yelled and threatened us to fire people and he wanted anyone questioning his dictatorship to leave dxc. Our current ceo and cfo caused this to be able to happen - they backed Goonville. Most of the c suite hires (cmo, cao, cio, etc) were also his idea. They need to also be fired to go with goonville.
He’s still showing on the corporate, public, web page so maybe not?
About time, I hope the useful id--ts that followed him from IBM will be out very soon.
good !! no loss!
@ab but, Quantum…..😂
They are going to spin it like he quit but he was fired. Took long enough. Overpaid and useless.
Yes and long overdue, he should have gone 8 months ago, he has done so much damage and DXC share price speak to his performance.
Yes H Bovrill is out, no strategy, no growth, hopeless leadership style, surrounded by people who wont challenge him, lots of HR cases. He is 0 for 3 in his most recent 3 jobs.
