Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) appointed Bethany Mayer, former president and CEO of Ixia, to HPE’s Board of Directors, effective today. She will also serve as a member of the Board’s Technology Committee.
Since 2018, Mayer has served as an executive advisor to Siris Capital, a private equity firm specializing in technology investments, and she has extensive experience on both public and private company boards. Mayer led Ixia, a leading network testing and security solutions provider, through a transformative period culminating in its sale in 2017 to Keysight Technologies Inc.
Before Hewlett-Packard Company’s 2015 separation into Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. and prior to joining Ixia in 2014, Mayer led the expansion of Hewlett-Packard Company's networking business as senior vice president and general manager, focusing on innovative technologies and strategic partnerships. Her efforts were instrumental in strengthening the company’s position in the networking market. Previously, she was vice president, marketing and alliances, for Hewlett-Packard Company’s Enterprise Servers Storage and Networking Group.
“With a diverse background spanning senior leadership roles in both global corporations and technology startups, Bethany has demonstrated a remarkable ability to navigate the dynamic and complex technology landscape while driving business growth,” said Patricia Russo, chair of the Board of Directors, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “HPE and our Board will benefit from her strategic mindset, strong leadership skills, and commitment to innovation.”
