Mark Hurd, Oracle CEO and Former Hewlett-Packard Boss, Dies at 62

Mark Hurd, the CEO of software company Oracle and the one-time boss of Hewlett-Packard, died Friday morning. He was 62.

The Silicon Valley veteran’s death was announced in a note on his personal website, which was written by Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.

“It is with a profound sense of sadness and loss that I tell everyone here at Oracle that Mark Hurd passed away early this morning,” the message read. “Mark was my close and irreplaceable friend, and trusted colleague.”

It continued, “Oracle has lost a brilliant and beloved leader who personally touched the lives of so many of us during his decade at Oracle. All of us will miss Mark’s keen mind and rare ability to analyze.”

Hurd joined the company as president in 2010 just months after resigning from Hewlett-Packard following a sexual harassment accusation against him, according to CNN. Though the company said an investigation cleared him of the claim, Hewlett-Packard said he was found to have violated its standards of conduct policy, CNN reported.
