My Take
Mark Hurd's career reads like a masterclass in corporate operating discipline. Running NCR, then Hewlett-Packard, then Oracle places him among a rare class of executives trusted to steer multiple giants. I'm drawn to leaders who deliver hard, measurable results rather than charisma alone, and Hurd clearly belonged to that camp. His tenure wasn't without controversy, which only makes him more human and instructive to study. His death in 2019 at sixty-two felt premature for someone still so engaged. I respect operators who thrive in the unglamorous machinery of scale, and he was unmistakably one of them.
