In her role as president and chief executive officer, Gerri Gold leads HPE Financial Services (HPEFS), a global financing and asset management organization that supports HPE’s edge-to-cloud strategy, and helps customers and partners accelerate their transformation.

Gold has developed a passion for taking niche opportunities and scaling them into global businesses. This includes the asset management unit of HPEFS, which is now a core component of HPE’s edge-to-cloud strategy.

Prior to this role, Gold was the senior vice president and chief operating officer of HPEFS. Her achievements are built on a base of strong financial acumen, customer and market intimacy and a willingness to make bold moves. She was responsible for introducing the IT-financing industry’s first “asset upcycling” solution and circular economy report, tapping into the changing value systems of today’s buyer.

“All who have worked with Gerri appreciate her strategic mind and contagious energy,” Antonio Neri, president and CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, says.

Outside of HPEFS, Gold serves on the board at Climb Global Solutions and as chairperson on the board at the Hewlett Packard International Bank DAC.

Her hobbies include mentoring young entrepreneurial talent, notably those in biotech, software and legal professions.

“Learn about all aspects of your business. Focus on those things that make your company most successful versus just what makes you feel most accomplished. That’s how you’ll bring the most value. And don’t be afraid to admit you don’t know everything. Ask questions and push ahead!”
