HP Appoints Marius Haas to Lead ProCurve Networking

HP Wednesday announced that it has appointed Marius Haas as senior vice president and general manager of the ProCurve Networking business.

Haas will oversee the group’s worldwide operations, with a focus on expanding its position as a leading networking supplier in the market.

Haas previously served as HP’s senior vice president of strategy and corporate development. In that role, he led initiatives that focused on improving efficiency and driving growth for HP, including the execution and integration of all acquisitions since 2004. Haas joined Compaq from Intel Corporation in 1995.

He will report to Shane Robison, executive vice president, chief strategy and technology officer at HP.

“Marius has a tremendous track record of executing against HP’s key strategic initiatives,” said Robison.

“He is the right leader to continue driving ProCurve’s aggressive market share gains.”
