    MEG Whitman on Tuesday announced that she will step down as chief executive of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (HPE), ending a six-year tenure that included overseeing one of the biggest corporate break-ups in history.

    Shares of HPE fell more than 6 per cent in after-hours trading. Known for its computer servers, HPE is still adjusting to a new landscape in which corporate customers are placing more of their digital operations in the cloud and moving away from purchasing their own equipment.
